Message: [QUOTE="Howard, post: 1488469"] Ok...what if it is? Is he good at it? I'd probably have trouble getting much out of an interview with a COBOL programmer, admittedly, seeing as how it's so different in its very nature from C++, Pascal, BASIC or FORTRAN (the ones I'm most familiar with). So I'd probably talk about problem solving in general, projects they've worked on, etc. I certainly wouldn't refuse to interview them just because they used a different language in the past. Unless of course I had such a wide pool of applicants to choose from that I could truly afford to be so picky, which isn't likely in my experience. -Howard [/QUOTE]
