A thing every hiring manager should ask, at least for Software jobs, is for you to show him code you've written. The best way to understand if someone has spend two, three or five years doing this, is to read his code. In case the interviewer doesn't ask me for my code, I would do it anyway. There is always this piece of code you are particularly proud of. Perhaps creating 10 ways to achieve the same thing. Senior developers write clean, efficient code ( if they don't, they should ). Junior developers find a way and if it works, hey it works! Mid level developers write a piece of crap code, but they see it as such. They make the difference. Once the difference is maid, you can go and ask the senior developer. Or do some research. Or both. This became visible to me once I wasn't in the phase "Oh shit, I don't know how I'm going to do this."
