Core IT Interview Questions?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday May 30, 2002 @03:58PM from the the-coder-inquisition dept.

Aengus asks: "We have a round of job interviews coming up and the people we will be interviewing will be of different backgrounds, so we are looking for a core set of general questions that you could apply to any IT/CS candidate that would display that they knew what they were talking about. ie questions that are not language or job specific. So far all we have come up with 'What algorithm is your favourite or most commonly used?'....." What questions have you been asked on interviews you have participated in?

Seems like you could just throw a job description out and have a pile of people show up on your doorstep these days. Least that's how I feel when I surf through fuckedcompany.com ;)

If your interviewees haven't seen _Airplane_, you don't want them, anyways.
