Interviewer<\/b> So where did you graduate from?<\/p>\n
Applicant:<\/b> Are you saying that one cannot get a job with you unless he graduates?<\/p>\n
I:<\/b> Not really. Take Bill Gates for example. He runs the world’s biggest software co and he isn’t a graduate. But then he has other qualities that compensate. He is smart and has good leadership skills, etc.<\/p>\n
A:<\/b> So are you saying that I am not smart?<\/p>\n
I:<\/b> Hardly. I don’t really know you, so I have no way of knowing whether you are smart or not… I don’t even know if you have any experience at all…<\/p>\n
A:<\/b> Which means that you can’t really say that I will do badly on the job?<\/p>\n
I:<\/b> Well let’s try again. Do you know any programming languages?<\/p>\n
A:<\/b> Which languages are you looking for?<\/p>\n
I:<\/b> Actually we have projects in all major languages…<\/p>\n
A:<\/b> So are you saying that anyone who joins knows all the languages you people work on?<\/p>\n
I:<\/b> Not really, at the most they will know a couple.<\/p>\n
A:<\/b> So anyone who joins your company won’t know most of the languages you work on. So I really don’t see why you are claiming that knowing a programming language is a prerequisite to joining.<\/p>\n
I:<\/b> I must say that I am impressed by your logical reasoning.<\/p>\n
A:<\/b> See? You haven’t come up with a single reason why I should not<\/i> join your company. Where’s my offer letter?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
