I once attended an interview for a contract in the south of the UK with a company that I had applied to before a couple years back but sadly had a mandatory "must have degree" caveat. Strangely enough they'd dropped it the second time round.
I step into the interview room and this tired looking 55-60 year old gent asks me the first question.
> What does the "private" keyword do.
Said in such a tired fashion that I skipped the question mark to effectively transmit its delivery.
So I answer, as you do and this gent breathes the biggest sigh of relief I've ever heard. I ask him what's up and he replies:
> You're the sixth candidate I've asked that to today and the only one to get it right.
We have issues with finding real talent in the UK (my company STILL has an entire team of 4-6 developers to fill) and Brexit really isn't helping.
