Very true :)
A little test i always do is ask people what they think of themself on
a scale of 1 to 10.
Most good coders with +5 jears experience will give them selfs a 6 or
a 7 and are very modest.
Coders that think they are good (-3 years experience) will rate
themself higher than they really are. This is practice proven.
Those people leave during or after their trial period :)

Why not asking him sources and asks questions about his own sources?
Why did you do it that way?
Why did you do use that?
Etc...
You'll see both what is capable of by looking closely at his sources
and see
his skills by asking right questions about it. I can't think you
won't find
out that someone is faking sources when you'll ask precise questions
about
it. Anyway, if the guy does, he's going to lose the job after 2 days
right?

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Questions to ask an interviewee
The list of questions i always ask interviewees are the following, and
this gives me a pretty good example of what they are like and what
their skillset is.
Test is always accompanied with a practical test we make up on the
spot.
The XML in Q16 is made up, you can create your own for this.
Feel free to use this,
Cheers,
