>> If you have applied to do the job shouldn't you already have the knowledge? If you can't do a job you have got it dishonestly or their was a failing in the hiring process. Great point. Unfortunately, I could never ethically apply for any job thought if this was true. The employers hide far too much knowledge for me to say truthfully if I KNOW something. For instance, I KNOW javascript. But do I really? Sure, I can make websites more enhanced with form validation, do some html scraping, enhance the design, or even collect analytics. But that's not what they asked. They asked if I knew javascript. I definitely don't know how to create a really great search tool for a pure front-end app. I've never created a video game in the language. I'm horrible at implementing graphics in it with canvas. So do I really know the knowledge for what they are asking me for?
