This question is like a Django model definition where you have a database query as default (or limit_choices_to) value. It makes it impossible to perform the 'syncdb' command (create a database from scratch, for tests etc). In other words, IT CREATES A CHICKEN&EGG problem. There are people with good potential, who will never be able to answer this question, because they were never given a chance. I was unemployed for 3 years, and I used to work in a completely different industry. The job was much like assembly line, and I couldn't even change my computer's time&date without admin's approval. Opportunities for achievements were extremely limited. So, maaaybe this is a good question, for the _employer_. But considering the fact employers are complaining about lack of qualified workforce at the same time as LOTS of people are unemployed, I think not! Today, if you ask this question, you're limiting yourself more than you think. It's similar to HR managers who ask for X years of experience in Y. Spending 4 years in your 3rd grade is not an achievement, and I seriously doubt the interviewer would be able to tell the difference.
