I am very skilled, highly educated, and interview poorly. When companies hire me, I get big promotions, leadership pulls me in, etc. This is because I'm not "an engineer" or "a programmer." The departments I work in obviously know/recognize me but the business doesn't know the job function really, its starting to be a more recognized area. The fact that I got as far as I did is hilarious, and I know how to find a lot more people like me at any time, and they'd never have gotten any of that value without hiring people like me. I also don't know how you would discern a "fake" me from me, without some of us on the interview. My interview was conducted by some highly qualified people and a few not qualified people, so I knew I had room to grow because there was a lot of dead weight.
