True. I interviewed once and they told me flat out that they didn't really read my CV but they saw I was hired at a big company and they liked that.

People are just people no matter what role they have in that moment and most people are susceptible to be impressed by superficial things (like your current company name).

Also most interviewers failed the interviews I was in... :)

Makes you want to give them a joke CV with a section "Companies I have not worked at yet" and just list some buzzwords like Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, etc.
