    Yeah, just because you can do something for an interview doesn’t mean you will do it again repeatedly for years on end.

      And the list of skills needed and duties in the job posting often don’t overlap much with the actual work.

        this is why the final step of our hiring process (don’t worry, there are only three steps, one of which is simply a short HR screening call) is to come to the shop and walk around and look at stuff and talk about it effectively

        if you can’t do that, you can’t do the job, because that’s like half the job.

      Also, if you made a mistake in an interview, that shows nothing about how youre capable of learning from a mistake.

      Id rather work with someone who admits they made a mistake and learn from it than a person who “knows it all.”
