Also, they often don’t read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills. The problem was the high-level managers because they didn’t read the memo (and didn’t even read my CV), assumed I can’t do engineering because I was an academic at the time.
I mean, if you argue that way during the interview I’d pass… Nobody thinks you’re asked to do all that in a one-day interview.
