How often are you asked to solve a problem in 15 minutes while someone watches over your shoulder?

  Seems like you'd have a similar problem with almost any job interview for any type of position.

    Ask your friends who aren't software engineers. How many of them solve problems they've never seen before while someone watches over them during an interview? The vast majority of other professions spend their time talking about past projects. For instance all my designer friends show off their portfolios, then maybe they get a take home work sample. My writer friends submit samples of their work. And my engineer friends discuss past projects they've worked on.

      I take your point, but actually I work in media and a lot of my writer friends had to take writing or editing tests as part of their interview.
