This is silly.  First of all, are interviews stressful, yes.  That&#x27;s not a bad thing.  The real world is stressful.  Soft skills matter.  Interviews are useful to see how candidates react.<p>Second, most people aren&#x27;t born with the perfect skill set for a job.  Most don&#x27;t even acquire it in university, or at a previous job.  Most important is the ability to learn and grow.<p>Third, in this day and age, you may send hundreds of resumes, and have multiple interviews.  Are you going to do 2 weeks of take-home projects?  What if you have multiple interviews in one day, and both places expect you to finish take-home projects.  What then?<p>This just seems like another hoop to make candidates jump through, with no good outcomes.
