Wesley I've been to interviews where I've had to ask if there was a mistake about the application as I'd applied for the same job 12 months earlier.

At that paticular interview I was told there was no mistake (well not with the current application) and that they did hire a guy, who produced spagettie and the job needed to be done again from scratch.

Funny thing was that the first year they had the HR lady, some Spin Dr Manager and the key project stakeholder doing a 3 on one interview that left me feeling like I was 3. They hired the cheapest guy.

Second year I ended up with the the same project manager and his assistant. By the end of that meeting we'd rescoped the project, reviewed the existing code which we dumped ("Call Xzje1(fooblar, bar2) " was funny to see in the code, I stopped laughing when I saw the function - Function Xzje1(a, b) - return a + b. No, I'm not kidding,). I started that afternoon.

Cheers Don

often wondered what would happen if I turned up at an interview with either a
speech therapy or neurological test in a briefcase and proceeded to test the
interviewer during the interview, just so I could be sure that they were
neurologically sound enough to interview me.  There's at least two electronics
manufacturers in town that _might_ get the point I'd be trying to make - the
others would be total dead losses! ;)
