> They also marked her down in interviews for not knowing the latest Excel version [...]

I've come to the point where I'm glad that interviewers show their cards this way. If a company does stupid things like this, I really don't want work for them anyway.

I know there are times when you can't be picky and have to be glad to get a job but I don't believe for a moment that the work environment will turn out to be great after they pull stuff like that in the interview.
