They graduated toward the top of their class from their university and rated themselves a four out of five in their Java experience (where one is βwrote a few programs in itβ and five is βcan give a big conference talk about itβ), but couldnβt tell us the difference between an array, ArrayList, and a HashMap in Java.
They had heard of a HashMap but never used it before.
They were the first candidate Iβve interviewed for these positions to send me a personal thank you note to my public work email address. It didnβt help their evaluation, but it was nice.
