You understand where you can improve and what you drop.
A lot of people are out there who do the wrong thing, just for the kick of it, what can be done to influence such people. Same is the case with piracy, a lot of people share content because they get a feeling that by doing this they are getting back at the world
The process becomes all the more tricky when it comes to freshers because they may have the talent required for the job, but nothing to show that backs it up.
But at the same time no way did it appear to me that the interviewer was not looking for passion in me. The questions that were asked from me probed whether I had the ability to respond to tricky problems, the ability to understand the intricacy of the problem and ability to respond.
At the same time the interviewer also tried to gauge my general skills, whether I would be able to contribute in a project or not. So I feel everybody has their own method of hiring. Particularly college graduates may not have github accounts to show that they have contributed to different projects. Sometimes I feel it is the only way to judge freshers in the sense they may not have a lot of projects to show, but they do have what it takes.
