Okay, so I'm off The Thread for a few days, and when I get back I find out just how the responses to the last post I made here has devolved... but I sure got quite a few chuckles out of it!

It's worth a try.

You might want to make one change to your answer: "Get out your latest backup and your latest resume ..."

I'll use that next time. This one appears to potentially have backups. That, or he doesn't understand the instructions.

At least he seems to be trying things out in Dev first... IMO, a good sign.

Oh definitely.

It wasn't the testing out that bugged me. It was asking how to fix it when that's already been explained twice.

Speaking of psychological response interview questions, anyone watch "the Middle"? favorite interview of all time now is "If you could be any color, what color would you be?"
response was "I guess the color that I am, are you even allowed to ask me that?"
:hehe:

I was told of a recent interview where a candidate was asked "Can you tell me 3 things you'd like to get out of working for us?".

The answer was "No". :crying:
