Demoralizing.
2002 Sep 27 13:22What an impersonal interview I just had. I trek down to this place in the rain, am escorted to a room, told I’m taking a 1-hour Java test, but on PAPER because the computer is broken (what a way to instill confidence!) I then proceed to fill out about 10 pages of multiple choice and short-answer questions in an hour, then turn in the exam.
That’s it. Barely a “Hi, how are you.” No resume review. No meeting with anyone but someone from HR, who I’m sure was just doing her job. I guess this is what happens when you have a job market like today’s.
Oh, and they won’t get back to me for 1-2 weeks. Wow.
Anyway, see this for a sort of party invite…

Did you see this job?
