Overall a really good article. I feel however that if I'm interviewing for a job, I've already lost. It probably means that I haven't been 1) working my network and nurturing those important professional connections, 2) contributing in meaningful ways to Open Source projects (in order to generate interest) or 3) impressing people with real-world solutions. I've never enjoyed a job that I had to seek out or interview for, your mileage may vary however.
