This idiocy persists since it attracts mediocre people, who later become idiotic interviewers themselves. 95% of "technology" positions essentially deal with automated paperwork applications and can do fairly well with mediocre people. | |

| Aug 5, 2014 at 11:16 | comment | added | Ian | @sleske, it is also how they answer them etc as well as knowing that someone else did not fill in the form. An answer given in an interview can reveal a lot more then an answer that someone spend many days drafting to put in a form. | |
