hmmmm, fascist? I take friends to strange restaurants in WAY out sections of Queens, I don't let they have menus, use forks or inquiry what exactly is in the Fish Eye soup (hey, why is there a shoelace in my bowl? me: EAT IT!). Yes, it gets messy, and they call me a "Food Fascist". Of course the die-hards always come back for more. :-)

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 _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
