the interview
After about 3 weeks and the creation of a website that ended up being well beyond what the guy was expecting me to produce in a week, I finally got an interview. Before I go on, I would like to say I made a website about an illustration company in order to kill 2 birds with one stone. I showed off both my graphics design skills as well as my programming abilities.
I took the day off work to do this because I had no idea how long the interview would take. It consisted of a test and then 2 interviews. The test itself took an hour, well they gave me an how. There were 7 questions. One involved proof reading, another asked me to make a webpage, and there were 2 more programming ones. The remaining were logic questions. As you know they are my thing, they are what I do, so they were cake.
1)If the word FINITE can be represented by the number 5910, then what number represents the word ZENITH?
2)
what comes next in the sequence?
3)Tower of hanoi with 4 disks.
They were not terribly hard. After that they told me that it was more than an hour's worth of work. As they are telling me this, I am in the process of sliding it across the table, completed. They were quite impress that not only did I finish it, but it was all correct.
The interviews then proceeded after that. And just under 2 and half hours later, I walked out anticipating a phone call the following week.
Update:It turns out that I was the only one of the top three choices to respond to set up an interview. I was also the first person to complete the test under an hour and have it all correct. I got my phone call the following Monday telling me that formality-wise he could not offer me the job til 4/4 but it was pretty much mine.
