Now most people find stories like mine hard to believe. I understand that and I understand that I am in a small minority on this concept, but it has happened to me on several occassions. This makes interviewing job candidates much more difficult, and I understand that. When an interviewer asks, "Explain how you would solve this problem," or "Tell us how you solved a similar problem" you are asking the candidate to teach you. Are you paying for the lesson? No, of course not. No one has the budget for that. So we are left with a difficult situation. How do we learn in the candidate is qualified if the candidate does not talk of a subject enough to convince us? It is difficult. Perhaps I have studied the topic of intellectual property too much and take it to heart too much. I know that I am in a small minority on this question.
