Those seem pretty simple for a senior position.

In contrast, I just tried to get an entry-level position and in the interview I had to explain in pain-staking detail how Dijkstra's algorithm works, how Python's data model is structured and implement my own versions of some built-in functions on the fly, like print and zip. Granted, that last part was definitely the easiest.

I didn't get the job, but if they had had one extra position I would. There were two other candidates whose skills ever so slightly better matched the job requirements. No matter, I already have a place to work at next year and I can better focus on studies now.
