i think an oft overlooked interview question is what kind of projects have
you actually done???

i mean degrees and a broad knowledge of tools is all good and nice but in
practice it's one's overall experience and body of work that is crucial to
success.

i can't tell you how many people i've come across (as a co-worker and
interviewer) who get paid big salaries and who look great on paper but when
it comes to delivering on a project, they're all talk! at least that was the
case when i was back in the agency/interactive agency world.

thoughts?
