How are successful interviews not improving your job hunting skills? You have another data point for both salary negotiation and the knowledge/communication bar for people in your field (for better or worse). That just makes no sense to me.
- pandaman 11y agoTo pass an interview I had to correctly answer certain questions and behave in a certain way, right? So the success means I already knew the correct answers to the questions and my behavior was adequate hence I'd better not to change anything. An improvement is a change by definition. I don't see how reaffirming the status quo causes a change.

There are multiple ways to answer most development questions. A range of answers are usually acceptable. A reaffirmation that an answer is effective is a change for me. It's an additional weight for those answers that are successful (even if I have to reason out to the interviewer why). That's just my algorithm.
