I would employ someone from this board, preferably one with the handle wisecracker That candidate seems a perfect employee Smilie

But ignoring the blatant sycophancy and assuming that you wish to escape, I would humbly suggest you seek one who is:-

generally bright rather than qualified
open to ideas
old enough not to be GUI-only
doesn't have a fancy looking C.V., but has content over visuals
who can read manuals well
is not scared by problems and will ask for help

In larger companies, a good Personnel or H.R. department may well have puzzles that stretch the mind and allows you to observe the process. That may give you an insight too. Additionally, try to set some puzzles of your own, e.g. try to get them to describe the difference between truncate table table_name ; and delete from table_name ;

It might sound like passing the responsibility, but I have had too much experience of very qualified people who don't have a clue, and when you consider the cheating that is common in some places where some people may have obtained qualifications, they become worth even less, which I'm sure for some is a grave injustice.

XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected(library call)							     XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected(library call)

NAME

       XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected -- A List function that replaces items in a list without selecting the replacement items

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/List.h>
       void XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected(
       Widget widget,
       XmString *new_items,
       int item_count,
       int position);

DESCRIPTION

       XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected	replaces  the  specified  number  of items in the list with new items, starting at the given position. The
       replacement items remain unselected, even if they currently appear in the XmNselectedItems list.

       widget	 Specifies the ID of the List widget to replace items in.

       new_items Specifies a pointer to the replacement items.

       item_count
		 Specifies the number of elements in new_items and the number of items in the list to replace.	This number must be nonnegative.

       position  Specifies the position of the first item in the list to be replaced. A value of 1 indicates that the first item replaced  is  the
		 first item in the list; a value of 2 indicates that it is the second item; and so on.

		 Beginning  with  the  item  specified in position, item_count items in the list are replaced with the corresponding elements from
		 new_items. That is, the item at position is replaced with the first element of new_items; the item  after  position  is  replaced
		 with the second element of new_items; and so on, until item_count is reached.
