RE: Monkey Business

[Writers Book Mall <steve -at- writersbookmall -dot- com>]

This is why a standard interview approach is to ask
the applicant to explain in detail what exactly they
did to produce the sample they are showing: was it all
their work? a team effort? what challenges did they
overcome? how did they get their information? what was
different in this project from other projects listed
on their resume? and so on.
