The Joys Of Interviews

In last couple of weeks we have been interviewing new contractor candidates. The standard has been pretty good with a few notable exceptions;

1. If you say you find multi-threading easy yet do not know what the lock statement does I tend not to believe you are any good at it.
2. If you have six years experience in c# and describe your competence as excellent, you really should know the difference between abstract and sealed.

People who need to revise for a simple OO test make me shudder.
