Just my opinion, but you probably don't want to try faking it at an
interview. I can think up a dozen questions that are only answerable
if you have real experience. Especially if you say you have xxx years
of experience with xxxx C. Questions like:
(1) If you've used this compiler more than 10 minutes, you've gotten
the message "Insincere declaration of fungible foggy entity". What
does this message really mean? (Most compilers have at least one very
opaque het always-poping up error message). You rarely can learn this
by reading a book.
(2) If you've ever compiled anything with this compiler, you've gotten
the run-time message "Seg Voil @ A0056" What do you do to find the
cause of the problem. (Generic FAQ's are not very helpful in learning
the quirks of a particular debugger).
(3) That compiler likes to emit lots of one particular relatively
harmless warning. How do you turn off just that warning (If you are a
good programmer, you've probably enabled FULL warnings, but you most
likely need to turn at least one of them off with a -NoWarn:C4996 )
..... and being found out to be a charlatan is a really good way to
free up the rest of your morning. No more tedious interviews for you!
On the other hand, if they lob softball questions at you, they're
probably not going to be of much help to you if you're hired. Watch
out for this too.
