Ok, breaking this into a separate post:

Have a friend who does hiring for his team. He told me a story of an interview for an entry level IT position. Obviously the interviewee is not expected to have strong skills for the job, it being entry-level. However, the interviewee had worked as an assistant studying wildlife issues, so my friend asked him various things about that. Unfortunately, the interviewee was unable to share what he did there in any real detail, as if he didn't fully grasp it himself. That lost him the job, because it was clear he wasn't able to pick up and retain information.
