The Job Interview
I used to think it happened only to me, and then I read Dilbert last Saturday. My interviewers are asking more and more real-world technical questions about real problems they have. More often than not, I can solve them in a couple of sentences. And later I wonder if they really had a job to offer or if they were just looking for cheap solutions.
Even months later, I can see users from my interviewers' companies reading my blog entries about how IIS, SQL, AD, and SharePoint work together. Thank you, Google Analytics. And no, I would never name your company here, because it just wouldn't be professional.
