The carpenter phones in response to the advert and gets the interviewer:

Carpenter: So how big is the job - how many hours will be required?
Interviewer: The hours are market related
Carpenter: And how much are you looking to spend per hour?
Interviewer: That's also market related.
Carpenter: Can you give me a range?
Interviewer: 0-R100k per hour
Carpenter: 0?
Interviewer: If it's all about money to you, you're the wrong guy for the job. We're looking for people who just love wood.
Carpenter: I have other projects I can work on, I need to know if this is worthwhile.
Interviewer: Come over to our offices, and build me a table, then we can talk about that... over lunch... sitting at our new table...

Truth

A shame that recruiter won't be reading this.

Love the article. Should read this before every interview

I passed the article to a friend - reasonably IT-literate but not in IT - but an expert carpenter whose is building his own two-master schooner.

"Ah" he said "the article was mistitled. The interviewer spent most of his time on the colour of the woodwork. Surely they should be interviewing painters, not carpenters ?"

My response: "The article was not mistitled - you have obviously never sat in on an IT interview"

You know you are in IT, if you read the story, smiled sadly, but didn't laugh.
