Not like me?
Today I interviewed our first candidate under our new process. We started with a quick 30 minute written test covering some basics and then dove into a hands on programming test. During the hands on test it was apparent that the candidate had a different development methodology then myself. He preferred using dataset/typed dataset, where my preference is with custom business objects. He seemed to have a decent grasp on many of the topics covered but the whole dataset thing made it difficult for me to get sold on him, after all he was not "like me". It seems appropriate to separate my personal development preferences from the interviewing process since every organization does things differently. When you interview candidates do you look for people "like you"?
