I'm convinced that interviews are a complete crapshoot for both sides. My first job interview went like this. 1. 45mins late for the interview. 2. Quizzed a chain of brilliant engineers. Couldn't answer a singe technical question they asked. Lots of "Sorry my experience was more with X, not Y". 3. Flatly said "You guys are looking for someone else, I don't have the skills you're asking for". ->Hired because I was honest. Learned quick. Promoted every year.
