Yikes there, get turned down at one too many interviews? I think it incredibly inappropriate to snipe someone looking for advice on, what I had considered, a professional forum. Hiring is an art and full time job on its own. Some positions require textbook knowledge of software development minutia and Information Services vocabulary. The most direct method for determining whether someone has those skills is a written test. Although some candidates may be insulted, the point is to accurately gage what skill set they have within a finite amount of time; not necessarily to win them over or hold their hand through the interview process. I don't think CED's test was an entirely credible way of determining whether the candidate was right for the job, but then, I don't know what the requirements are for the position, nor does anyone else on this list. So, assuming CED is not a fascist, he probably made the best decision he could in giving the test. - jake
