RE: Killing the Job Interview with the Keyword Approach
I've been in some of those interviews. Yes, they were big companies. I usually was interviewing for advancement. I would see the people that did advance, and I learned a lot about the company. Those are actually the types of jobs I don't really have interest in any longer. If you want to put me on the spot and test my skills, go for it, but those B.S. scripted questions... I hope I never have to work for a place like that again.
Your advice is GOOD if you want to work at such a place.
I worked for Pearson last time I saw those type of questions.
The best interview I was ever in, not a single question like this was raised. You are right that it is for a typical (perhaps corporate) job. Many tech companies try to buck the corporate feel, esp start-ups. But methinks most of those jobs bring in people through those they know. That is a totally different type of interview experience.
