I disagree about lunch interview. for me that is forcing person into a situation that might be uncomfortable for him. at my current work place half of the people makes food themself (its cheaper and healthier). plus as interviewee you don't have a choice. if someone ask you is "could we do lunch interview?" - can you really say "no"? you can, but it might cost you the job and you might not get that job, because you're "not a team player".
plus being stressed when you are eating is not healthy. I bet it must be uncomfortable for everybody - its like doing anything first time. everybody is used to normal interview process and that is hard enough. we CANNOT prepare for a interview. I was once asked how MsSQL database/ index files are stored (or something like that). not knowing what you will be asked is stressful. P.S. maybe I'm a little sensitive about job interview, but I just had one too many. most of them are with morons as interviewers (my impression). I can only remember few good ones (where I and interviewer learn something from each other). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
