I once had an interview so bad I got up and walked out. There were various tests, the first of which was a really antiquated computer science aptitude test, which is only still around because the company founder wrote it 35+ years ago, so it's indoctrinated into the culture. The interviewer even told me, "I know it's not that impressive by today's standard, it will seem dated, but it was really influential at the time..." or something like that. My interviewer, I swear, looked exactly like Larry Flynt. He seemed to be drooling lard. He gave me the test, and an hour to complete it alone. I finished in 12 minutes, stood there looking out the window for a few minutes and decided to leave. (Felt like I was being judged like a piece of meat, and this MUST be a crappy job because everyone who works here was willing to go through this process before me.) The test was really a personality test, and I have no respect for any conclusions anybody's going to draw from it. He apparently saw me walking down the hall, and came running after me, gurgling, "Wait, No! You can't leave yet!" Which only made me hussle my step... The interview cost me half an hour, plus $7 for parking, and travel time. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
