Beware of newbie interviewers! The interview was for office in Oxford, UK. The last interviewer was at his first interview (he told me that). The interview was about a database design. The interviewer was alone, and I didn't see him taking notes, like the previous ones. Database design is one of my strongest skills. He looked at my proposed designed as I was from Mars, or as he was an unprepared student who wanted to pass the exam. He did not understand anything from what I said. I came with a complete new approach, and it was clearly not the solution he had in his mind. I am wondering how this guy was hired as database professional when he doesn't know anything about it. At least this is what I read on his face. I was teaching for many years and I know how to read someone's face when he understands the subject or has no idea what is going on. The explanation could be understood even by a kindergarten student. I am happy I wasn't accepted, because I would't have liked to work with "professionals" who need weeks to understand subjects in the area they are supposed to be professionals.
