It is for exactly this reason that I don't work for free during interviews. If my prospective boss isn't sharp enough to know that I know my stuff after a brief conversation and a look at my credentials, then I'll happily work for his competition.
Many people can learn to "talk" like a pro and act like one, but are full of crap and useless once they're in. Anytime i have found myself without work i have offered one day free. I have never been taken advantage of. have landed some good jobs that way.
if you really have the skills that an employer wants. they know you are worth more to them as an employe.
I don't trust professional journalists. Sorry, but too many "professional" journalists skew reporting to one side or another, all in the name of "ratings" or circulation or whatever is being measured.
All journalists skew reporting. bloggers and pros. hell even all humans skew their knowledge one way or another. whether we realize it or not. The trick is to use different biased and attempted objective sources in comparison to determine what the actual news is..
