I don't agree. If I'm interviewing someone straight out of college there are things I wouldn't expect them to really know and focus on whether they are focused and motivated enough to learn those things on the job. If the person at 15 years experience and doesn't know things which are a normal part of the kind of job I do, it would be a deal breaker.

Where I work, the interview is based on the level we're hiring for, not their background. If someone's expected to perform as a mid-level engineer, it doesn't matter to me how long they've worked as long as they can solve the technical problem as expected for someone of that level. It's a different philosophy, and has it's pros and cons.

I try to let the expectations for the interview be set by the expectations they will find when they start.

It's useful to know what you're looking for when you go out in to the market...
