For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview

29. lol any story about any company INTERVIEWING A MILLION CANDIDATES would generate thousands

and thousands of pages on the internet.

I knew when I read it that Google had never interviewed a million people, so its not just the remembering that was a problem it was that he would remember something that was so fantastically absurd that you knew immediately that he got it wrong.

It would take a thousand people about 4 months to interview that many people, is that logical?

Moreover why would google interview a million people? They use algorithims to establish high probability patterns. They take those million resumes, score them according to known patterns and presto they have a few thousand people to interview. You would think that someone in the IT field would see how ridiculous the claim is.

I have interviewed about a thousand people in my life and you would have raised 10 flags in in the first minute.

"Red China" that is a rather archaic term to use.

You state that you can right algorithims but you don't seem to have enough common sense to understand how far out a claim of a million people being interviewed is. If you don't have that level of common sense then how effective a problem solver can you be when you write code?
