One time I was excited that a candidate had AWS Glue on his resume so I called it out in the interview. He asked, "What is Glue?"

likefunny

What is there to know about glue? I've used it a few times and it doesn't seem that complex (?).

For example what would your interview question be in regards to glue?

Typical consulting. Watched one YouTube video, becomes SME

Whatever you put on your resume you should be able to back up if they tested you on the spot. So if you’re learning enough from the crash courses go ahead. If not, keep learning

If it's on your resume I would expect you to be conversant on the technology and how to use it. if you didnt know something you indicated on the resume then it would shorten the interview considerably.

I think you could specify a skill level. I'm probably expert with r/SQL/Athena/Tableau and a few other things I use constantly. Intermediate Python. Beginner in Julia.

A fun game to play is trying to identify if a candidate put an R package or a Pokémon on their resume

Recently attended an interview from one of the top IT firms . I'd never seen any such worst process in any of my life .
Since I'd attended an interview long back i was surprised to receive this call and HR informed me that I'll be having a HR round and the day comes i joined the call ( literally they didn't even ask a single HR question and it was completely about TR) when I reached out to HR . I was told this was a TR + MR
Whose mistake is this ? wasn't their job to inform us properly about?
