Once someone has, say, 10 years professional experience, it seems rather daft to think you can figure out what they do or don't know based on the 3-4 years they spent at university over a decade ago. | |

You are echoing a sentiment I've encountered quite frequently on this site: it seems to me that a key skill in interviewing is identifying potential perceived disadvantages, and somehow turning them in your favor | |
