I thought I had given consideration. I do not regard "I don't know" as giving up. Giving up would be not finding the answer eventually. I certainly don't find myself "under" some other person if they know th

As a recruiter or an employer? I've only done "employer type" interviews.

The interview is there to provide more information about a possible relationship. Winning an interview is like winning a date (assuming you want a relationship with the other person.).

Any interview (of mine) is a conversation - they're not something you pass or fail - it's just a way for a potential employer and employee to get to know one another so they can make better decisions. Nobody won, lost, passed or

Largely because they were making things up and changing the subject instead of answering honestly.

Interviews are certainly bidirectional - and should be conducted as conversations, not third degree interrogations. I would walk out on that too. How is being asked something you don't know the answer to being pushed to the breaking p

So far it's worked very well for me. Since I've started using it (admittedly my sample size is small) I've found some very effective programmers, and automatically filtered out a lot of egotistical types. Software is usuall

Saying "I don't know" is an accurate answer. The ability to ask meaningful questions is a big part of any programming job. And (in my opinion) harder to learn than any particular technology.

When interviewing people I usually push until I get the candidate to answer "I don't know" on SOMETHING, just to see if they can do it. Not everyone can, and a lot of people will happily come up with a technical word salad t

I'm working on something to track stuff like that. What would you consider evidence of a study being disproved?

It would not be inflationary - inflation is a monetary phenomenon - not a fiscal one. Wages might go up, which results in higher prices, but that is not the same thing as inflation (which is a GENERAL increase in prices and fall in the pur

Addendum 6. When you make architectural decisions (creating some function in code instead of sql for example) go ahead and explain your reasoning to the client in some form or fashion. Volunteer this casually at a meeting. It creates a g

1. I would read "The Secrets of Consulting" by Gerald Weinberg The biggest lesson (I think it was in that book) was that you're being hired as an expert on a topic. to be a Successful expert you must A) have an expert level

I heard it pretty constantly, over the whole college experience actually. It just seems irresponsible not too.

An open question to people born after 1980 - did you hear "what will you do with that degree" early and often? The end career was an important part of the decision making process when I started college, harped on by parents, advis

What margin of error did you have with the sinclair method, like if you were off an hour or two with taking the naltrexone would that matter? Also - did you have any withdrawal symptoms?

My grandfather went there in the late 20s-early 30s, graduating with degrees in economics and woodworking IIRC. As I recall he described education there as very much a group effort - working together was a bonding and binding experience.

And to clarify the "wary" part - the higher the charisma the less skeptical you will be of the person you're negotiating with.

It's just something I've noticed over the years. Personal charisma as it relates to sales/persuasion/compliance correlates with peripheral vision. I went through a period in 2012 where I did more negotiating (car buying

1. Never combine invoices - accounting bugs are difficult to spot and even harder to agree on. 2. Eye contact and thanking people mean more than you might think 3. Be wary of sales/persuasion people with good peripheral vision
