You have the right to ask anything you want. As a programming consultant I
would be a little surprised, at first, to be asked to debug some code. But
if I am worth my salt as a consultant I should be happy to do it. And then
expect you to hire me at my requested rate when I have proved able. :)

Subject: Conducting interviews

I'm a bit nervous. Today was supposed to be me attending an interview not
leading it.

But here we are. Time for me to break out of my shell.

Does anyone have any tips or things I should be asking? We are interviewing
a consultant for RPGLE position.

Would it be appropriate to ask them to find a bug in a 20 line procedure?

We haven't had much success lately with people that can debug issues. This
to me is a biggie. This particular issue I expect someone to be able to
find just looking at the code. I discovered it yesterday going to have fixed
today. I just thought this would give me some insight on the person problem
solving ability.
