The best one I had was from a chap I was interviewing for a promotion to the development team.
He sat down and started running through his list of skills and then proceeded to show me a Delphi project he'd written. I was just thinking this guy is better than me when something just caught my eye. I scrolled back to the top of the source file and there in big letters "Copyright Borland Corporation". This chap was only trying to pass off the Delphi samples as his own work !! Didn't even have the brains to remove the standard comments. He never did get the job... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: 02 January 2008 23:10 To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] computer job ads, then and now Yes. Aditionally, the work ethic is lacking in many of these guys. We had one summer intern think nothing of sleeping at his desk. All he had to do was stay awake, graduate, and he would have received an entry level position. But there was no way anyone was going to sponsor him after catching him snoozing several times. --- Ricardo Aráoz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > David Crooks wrote: > > I can not imagine what the year 2020 will look > like.
