In recent days, quite interesting topics about interviewing and about what an ideal applicant or junior specialist should be could be observed on Habré. And these topics have caused considerable excitement among the Habra community.
Quite by chance, on the RSDN, I stumbled upon a
statement, incredible in its power and depth, on this vital topic of relations between the employer and the applicant (author -

What happens in a typical interview?
- Do not know how method A differs from method B? Yes, he does not know how.
- Doesn't remember how many arguments a function has? No experience.

- Do not know why the covers are round? Fool.
- No certificates? Garbage.
- Low average ball? Stupid
- Funny name? Idiot
- Looking for a job for more than two weeks? Loser.
- Has unemployment periods for personal reasons? Unreliable.
- Temporarily did not work while writing your personal project? Risk, what if it falls down again?
- Not ready to work for 16 hours, weekends and go on business trips? Lazy, does not want to work.
- Has an independent opinion? Troublemaker, will not fall under the head.
- An enthusiastic enthusiast? Yes, it will be boring for him to pick our old code.

I just have nothing more to add - it says beautifully.
