A friend of mine has been asked to complete the following pre-phone interview test.

The following should be considered valid test data:

= 2922 days from the start date to the end date, end date included

Depends on how much he wants the gig I guess. For a top-whack, five minutes from home job I might do it. Bouyant market, jobs up the ying-yang, confident I will get another with no hassle I might send them something that prints "FOAD" to screen ad-finitum until the machine freezes and dies...

My ex was asked to jump through similar hoops for Tesco a few years ago.

She went for a job in their buying department.

Well qualified for the job etc.

Prior to the interview, she was asked to put together (with research) a strategy for selling a new line of products they wanted to move into (think it was car products).

She told them to FOAD.
