IMHO, there is a wide confusion regarding the interview process amongst my friends. I have heard some mention of learning the boring theory to clear the interview. In the past ten years , i have mentored at least 100 careers by training them in Computer Programming. As years went by , i began to study the cognitive process of the people whom i help.
Due to certain limitations , An Interviewer can test only the conceptual skill of a prospective employee. I have seen some pen and paper interviews. That is unfair on most candidates. I have
been in the interview sessions where my co-interviewers rejecting people with good knowledge just because they could not do well in puzzle like questions.
What i follow is listen to the person's musings on the projects which they have done. Any one with conceptual maturity will be able to present well. Some times , i will ask people to speak in their native tongue. So, By asking people to speak about what they have done , we can judge their conceptual maturity. This Process seems to be accurate to the extent possible for one human to judge another.
Most job requires Skill along with the knowledge. The best way to judge that is to employ one and find it out. I do not think that there is another way. By asking people to solve Pencil and Paper problems, one cannot judge their skill.
So, Interview Processes are all about Conceptual Maturity. People with Analytical Ability do
have an edge over others. (It is my Opinion..yours may vary )
