Had my first 'bad' interview in years yesterday

[Pogle]

Oh and the worst interview I ever had was with HMRC, I walked out and called the agent and told them, that there was no way I got that one.
20mins later I got a call back and I got the contract.
So you never know

Well since 85% of posters will neither know or care about that reference...

I had my worse one the other week ... one question that I was asked:

"How would you tell a developer his code is crap?"

[Gentile]

"How would you tell a developer his code is crap?"

'Tis easy. Print it out, and tell him you want to get his input on "somebody else's" work. Once he's finished slagging it off, tell him who really wrote it.

... Then spent the rest of the interview picking my brains.

Lucky they had access to tweezers and a microscope at short notice, eh?

Ah, that'll be one of those "differences" I was on about enjoying earlier: ladies' loos are generally OK, whether or not the rest of the place is nice. Although one phenomenon you wont be familiar with that's peculiar to that environment is sanitary bins. I worked in a place that used automatic ones, with a little sensor that lifted the lid when you had a 'deposit' to make. Unfortunately, the cubicles were very small and the sensors were a little over-sensitive. It was like sitting next to a haematological version of Oscar from The Muppets.

And let's not forget the early versions that used the 'incinerate' technique which they used to set fire to themselves at regular intervals...

See what I mean? Make that 90%

The feedback I got from one last year was that I was 'too good'.

Actually I think that the Senior Manager in the interview took a dislike to me because I wasn't frightened of him.

These things happen.

Last year I walked an interview. Didn't get it because they couldn't understand why I'd want it.

BECAUSE I AM ON THE BENCH AND THERE ARE NO CONTRACTS AROUND.

Fortunately my niche has picked up now.
