    When I ask someone the "Tell me about yourself" type questions, I am looking to see what excites them about the field. Since I interview programmers, I look for passion about the industry, I want to know if they are keeping up with various

    Where I work we tend to bring people in on a 3 month freelance basis with the possibility to hire at the end. This allows us to get familiar with the person without having to go through all the hassles of setting up a new employee just to t

    I truly apologize in advance - this is not meant to be flame bait or anything of that nature - but it bothers me when someone states they "won" a position. The interview process should be used to find a good match, both for the company as w

    I love gandi.net. Excellent service, easy to use all tld's and a free SSL cert with each domain. I also use 1and1 as well as Dotster in the past - but will be moving all my domains over to gandi.net over time.
