It's always helpful to know how resourceful the applicant is. I was once told in an interview that there weren't many, if any colleagues, I could go to if I got stuck on a particular issue. They were trying to find out if I had any experience in finding out answers to technical questions on my own. So, if the applicant says, "Yes, I once had this problem writing a Crystal Report and I posted on The BUS and found the answer.", then you know you have a savvy candidate.
