I'm part of a small 3-person development team (myself and one other local, the third is remote). Our manager will be leaving soon, so we're starting to look for a replacement. We're going to be involved in the interviews of our potential new managers, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to come up with things to ask them or look for...
I am a sophomore in college right now. I am majoring in computer science. I am spending time on an open source project, but I'm interested in getting a job. Today I went in for an interview for a job at my school's "School of Forestry" as an IT Help Desk Assistant. He explained the job as, pretty much solving computer problems for indi...
When you interview someone for a job, or are helping to interview someone for a job, is it rude to ask why they're interviewing in the first place? Sometimes the answer is easy like "well my company is laying off a thousand people this year and so I've decided to move on" or "they've decided to get out of software development and instea...
As has been often stressed, people skills count for a lot in software development. While it's great to have smart and skilled coworkers, someone who communicates well and has the technical chops to contribute is invaluable to a project. How do you gauge whether a candidate would be great to work with? For me: 1) I look at how they exp...

I've spent quite a lot of time searching for the "right" engineer for a testing/development position. It's a very high-stress, high-visibility environment with changing priorities and tight deadlines. The associated responsibilities have been somewhat neglected for several years and upper management doesn't understand the process and p...
In the setting of an interview: What is the best way to reliably identify when somebody is an excellent programmer. By this I mean he is one of those that is 10-15 times more efficient / rapid / better than his peers towards the lower end of the spectrum. Many of us have heard of the FizzBuzz Problem as a way to weed out the weak ones...
What would you wear to an engineering position interview? Suit-and-tie seems anachronistic to me, especially considering how some of my colleagues dress for work on a daily basis. Is it still the norm? ...
My company, a C++ house, is always looking to hire recent grads. However due to the Java Schools phenomenon, we typically end up interviewing strong Java programmers with maybe a minute smattering of C++. Often the C++ classes don't really prepare students for working in C++. Nevertheless, often these are bright kids, eager to learn and ...
From your own experience, what was the online recruitment website you felt worked most for you? Which one you get more phone calls through? ...
I'm looking for suggestions for a beginner level ASP/XML test. Essentially I'm trying to hire an extremely junior programmer. I'm in the process of trying to hire a junior programmer to help maintain a large code base of somewhat repetitive ASP pages. I'm slowly in the process of making more modular, maintainable code but until that h...
When interviewing for a programming position, did you ever get an answer to your question that you didn't quite expect? The answer could've been quite smart that you didn't even know or it could've been a dumbest answer you never expected. I'm expecting technical type of questions but anything interesting is fine. ...
When you are looking for a new job, what types of things do you look for in a potential employer? What do you look for? Beyond the skillset match, what are some of the most important features to look for in a company to best fit intellectual work and development mojo? ...
Our company is looking for new programmers. And here comes the problem - there are many developers who look really great at the interview, seem to know the technology you need and have a good job background, but after two moths of work, you find out that they are not able to work in a team, writing some code takes them very long time, an...
According to Manoj's answer to my question here, what do you suggest as a good problem that should stretch the interviewee's (horrible word ;-) programming capabilities and show whether he is a good programmer? ...
I'm interviewing for programmers at the moment, and in one case, we've a chap who comes across extremely well but admits there are gaps in his knowledge. This isn't a problem for us, because we've allowed time for a training period, but we're curious to see how quickly he can pick up new concepts. We've agreed to conduct a sort of "home...
I am seeking advice on how to ask a generic interview question that would test a candidate's programming aptitude. Is the following question on track or am I way off base? 'Using the data resulting from your completion of the Excel part of this test, write the code in the programming language of your choice, which would yield the averag...
What do you think about purely CS knowledge questions during the interview? What I mean is: Data structures (stacks, queues, lists, trees) Algorithms (sorting, search, shortest path, data compression) Recursion, etc. Unless you have some specific need (search engine implementation, low level no-framework programming), I am struggl...
Let me put it to you this way: I'm a top-notch programmer, but a notoriously bad interviewee. I've flunked 3 interviews consecutively because I get so nervous that my voice tightens at least 2 octaves higher and I start visibly shaking -- mind you, I can handle whatever technical questions the interviewer throws at me in that state, but...
