The only one I feel I can share, as I don’t work for that company anymore and I have no idea where the interviewee is at anymore…
We were a .NET “shop” (I’m looking at you @mawburn lol!). We used quite a few JavaScript frameworks and such, so our requirements were .NET experience, primarily with C#, and knowledge of popular JavaScript frameworks.
Simple right? I mean we were looking for a Junior developer, so we didn’t need a lot of experience, we just wanted you to know what it was. We’d supply training once you were hired.
The first person confused JavaScript with Java. Every time he’d talk about the JavaScript portions he’d be referring to Java. The worst part? I decided, well, you know what, I’ll quiz him on his knowledge of Java (I have some experience there). He didn’t even know Java!! He just generally had no idea about either and was interchanging words he has seen on the Internet or in Books, or who knows where.
Unfortunately, the bigger WTF is the company hired him, and he only lasted 3-6 months. He was placed on my team and after 3 months of fixing his crap, I told my boss, “he goes, or I go. I’m tired of doing his work and mine.”
