Every time I get interviewed by an indian guy the interview is going to be tough. I some how feel that even though i am kick butt at my skills the interviewer who is an indian try to bring out some question that I cannot answer. They dont see how many questions you have answered correctly. If you answer one question wrong you wont get the job.

Every body can come out with questions that other person cannot answer. Just to show that you dont have the experience they require. I get interviewed with a chinese or an american usually the interview goes well. I think Indians like diversity just like chinese like diversity.
Indians interview indians tough. And chinese get inteviewed tough by a chinese.

So if you make a joke about hiring a good looking guy/girl, remember that it can and will be used against you in court.

Just because yo are given a chance to interview you are not the king of the world.
What I personally think is there should be a balance in skillsets.. like technically and interpersonal skills. 5 out of 10 lot of developers do not have good interpersonal skillsets.
I think you should value both technology and quality in a person.
If you just look for technology you will miss a good quality person in your team.
There should be a balance.
Just my thoughts.

I don't. I know next to nothing about struts and only the basics of Jini. But I do know Java and CS. A good question I might choose to ask someone with experience in those areas is "explain to me the advantages of those technologies?" Or basing off of something he said, I might ask "why does Jini do X and not Y?" I don't know the answer. What I do get is the candidates ability to clearly explain some technical issue. I am not judging the canddiates knowldge here (altough I could go double check his/her answers), but rather communication skills.

I think a H-1 B guy will hire only another H-1 B guy or any other indian guy if he has a vested interest in the position. If he directly comes to the US and starts working on a high tech job he wont even consider education like a masters in CS as a valuable degree. I know this because I work with these guys on a day to day basis.
As he does not belong to any alumni, if he sees another indian guy as an interviewee who has a masters degree. he would not value him as H-1 B guy does not have a masters degree himself. And he thinks a masters degree in CS is worth less.

And another thing mister. I have not been unemployed for years like some of H1 Bs. I had my job all the time during that down economy. That explains my skillset. In this economy only the fittest will survive. And neither I will be not having a job for long time as market aint that bad for me. So if I hire a H-1 B guy I will make sure he is professional. If he is not I wont hire him. If he is poor at communication I will not hire him. If he is an introvert I wont hire him.

Just wondering, < hijack > if you ever found something out on a google search which deemed this person unhireable? What if the guys name just happened to be Michael Jackson or some other co-incidental name? What happens if you get hits on some other guy with the same name?? I know that there is a professional photographer named Jamie Robertson out there and another that draws shady comics. Seems like this would lead to more misinformation than anything. < /hijack >Originally posted by Chris Mathews:
Excellent point. Personally, I always make it a habit to google a person before I interview them...
