- Dude, get a life.
- You don't get brownie points the few times I said "I don't know". Ideally, I should be rewarded for honesty.
- Things I worked on or like may not be the ones on your "to learn" or "I'm an expert" list. Got to live with it. It's alright.
- I know you want to get an idea how I might fit in a role. Be realistic about what you can learn in the 30-45 minutes. FYI, this is India, the land of arranged marriages, where people only meet for a couple of minutes before tying the knot (OK I'm exaggerating, a lot). The interview is but a minuscule issue here :D
- "You have no commitments no?" -- seriously dude!??! SERIOUSLY!?! Next time, I will bring a list.
- "How much of X do you know?" Replace X with your favorite technology/tool. I'll give you a hint, Core Java :D I could write an entire book about this. How do I quantify how much I know? You didnt like it when I mentioned the different stuff I've worked on calling it "experience" not "how much". I lost it at that point, dude. I wanted to walk out but decided against it, thinking I will let the HR know how much of a jerk you are.
- It felt more like dealing with a first grader with a bad temper than a lead/architect/whatever the fancy title you got! I'm pretty sure you thought I was sarcastic. You're not wrong. I was.
- I'm waiting for the day when I interview you. I won't be such a jerk! Relax.
- Interviewing candidates is a skill, you need to work on it. Its not a rapid fire quiz round where you shoot(vomit rather!) questions and expect me to say "Pass" all the time.
- If only I knew your email id, or at least your full name, I could have forwarded a link to this page and have you read it :D
