> Anyone can ace and interview

I'm doubting this quite a bit. If it's so easy to ace an interview, why are there so many bad ones?

That's not the point I was making. The full quote is:

>Anyone can ace and interview and then slack off once they have to job.

In that a person can pass an interview, get hired, and then not do the job. An interview will never tell you if you will get poor job performance with 100% accuracy.

You can't ace an interview and then slack off if you can't ace an interview.

Interviews aren't perfect, but they can still be good filters.

I don't think you are getting my point. You can totally ace an interview and then slack off. That's it, that's my point. Not the opposite, not something else, just that.

Ok. I see. This is theoretically possible. But in practice, I haven't seen it. That's not something I really care about spending effort filtering for in an interview.
