He was shocked, “What? Test a marker?” He intended to say “Do you mean I’ll be testing markers in your organization?” </i><br /><br />This is a concerning question by upcoming testers and i am sure it iss not a one-off case and many who are involved in interviewing have faced this question.<br /><br />I agree with your points regarding Auditioning testers. This is something i had been following with good success and it also helps set expactation with the candidate about what/how much challenging the job is going to be.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Anuj<br />http://anujmagazine.blogspot.comAnuj Magazinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007419487924715310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2085771970779369940.post-17884009580207559452010-07-07T12:13:16.735+05:302010-07-07T12:13:16.735+05:30There is no bad certification.

There are incorrect way of identifying skills by interviewers. This may not help in enjoying the interview by interviewee and interviewer and loose resources.<br /><br />There is no bad auditioning. There are incorrect ways in understanding of what the auditioning is.<br /><br />There is no bad tester.

And I must say that the wait was worth. <br />I feel that the widely followed interviewing methodology in testing, needs a change but the real problem is the people who are in charge of hiring candidates are still believer of <i>largely</i> irrelevant methods.<br />Few organizations follow "Auditioning Testers" by assigning them real world problem and more importantly, interviewers don't always look for exact solutions, they look for the approach which I found really good.<br />We have been reading, learning, following and practicing (as and where possible) the <b>Context Driven Testing</b>. Can we have something like <b>Context Driven Interviewing</b> as well. Because one size doesn't fit all. We must admit that Interviews are always requirement driven.<br /><br />My learnings so far:<br />In freshers, I would look for aptitude (learning ability) and ability to communicate.<br />In experienced, I would look for their problem solving skills and conflict resolution in addition to their technical skills. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing yet another thought provoking post.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Rahul Gupta<br />http://BugMagnate.blogspot.comRahul Guptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12608741092824452758noreply@blogger.com
