We wanted to try showing a candidate one of our pages and seeing what sort of design he or she came up with. One of the first people we did it with kept reading all the content on the page, instead of the structure, despite us suggesting several times that the content wasn't the important part. He kept prefacing his statements with, "Well, not knowing any other requirements..." while never actually seeing if we would tell him any. He then said, "I've done a lot of database design." and proceeded to say there'd be an individual table per category our content was posted in, instead of one "Category" table or whatever. I found out later that he called my boss and complained the interview was unfair. Edit: Another candidate listed "C, C++, Java" as his languages, then said, "I remember some of the high-level concepts of object-oriented programming." and listed a decade of jobs where he only used C. I do wish I had more opportunities to interview people, mostly because 1) we need more people, 2) interviewing people is a good skill to put on resumes, and 3) it's really funny when they go haywire.
