Get *interviewed*, not hired ;-)

Any company with half an ounce of skill in interviewed will weed out the 
people who just made up stuff.

We had exactly that experience recently.  Some guy said he had lots of 
experience with ASIC design for graphics controllers, and working with 
different customers in Europe.  Once we started pushing him on the technical 
details it turned out he really had just been "overseeing" the design and 
not actually done anything himself.  In fact, he could have just been making 
it all up.  In the end we finally asked him this question:

"When was the last time you used an oscilloscope?"
"Never"
"OK, thanks for coming along today, we'll let you know"

I don't know why people even bother.
