Re: Never trust a CV

An interview and a test are required...

I used to give a technical quiz when interviewing potential candidates back in the 90s. The first question was:

Write a C++ class that stores a signed 32-bit integer. Include member functions to change and retrieve the stored value.

About half the people we interviewed couldn't even do that.

The questions became progressively harder from there. I dread to think what the Stack Overflow Brigade would make of them today.
