One of the classic moments was when I was involved in a hiring process. The position was for a web developer. More precisely, a PHP developer.
PHP is a server side scripting language that allows for dynamic pages to be built. See PHP.net for more information.
When it was my turn to interview one person, I was told that she said she was good with the client side. I did not think much of that comment until i got in the room. "I'm good with PHP on the client side." I was told immediately.
Really?, I thought. How in the world did you do that?
Needless to say she got my lowest ranking. The guy that was hired was ranked second to last. He seemed to be a yes-man, but I overhead that he had been preselected. I even asked why we should interview others if it was predetermined? Oh well, that is why I'm on the bottom of the "chain of command."
