Really? I have a bachelor in applied mathematics, I like math and algorithm, but when i was interviewed with a software engineer position, i had been asked all kinds of c++ programming questions, and these "do you have experience on this and that". I had to spend extra time on these things, i just felt why i didn't directly get into computer science program and spending more time on these detailed engineering things at school
I was one of the victims of this system. Lucky me i got the hell out of the system a few years ago. I am a software engineer in Vancouver ,Canada browsing this news now.
My files has been sitting in a cabinet of a government official build over 8 years and no one just care.
The interesting part was I had to pay the government for keeping my files. I just left 8 years ago and i thought i would not need my files anymore (not looking for a job anymore in china , at least a government job ) so i just stopped paying them.
I am pretty happy with this news. I am sick of experts-exchange. When u searched something you got a link of exchange-experts, but technically you got nothing because u need to login or register or pay or something else to see the content.
