When I interview people I usually ask what they have done and let them explain to me why some things were done in a certain way, what alternatives they had thought about and so on. When I can have an intelligent conversation the candidate usually is a go, otherwise not. I just want to know whether they can think straight or just repeat memorized stuff.<p>If you know your stuff you usually can separate bullshitters from good people.<p>This has worked pretty well for me so far.
