Reply to: Pointless tech interview questions again!

But similarly, I'm sure not such a miserable git in real life as you are on here. Surely no client on earth would put up with it ;-)

NLUK is handsome, charming, sensitive to the feelings of others....no hang on, that's me !! NLUK is just the same in real life. Fortunately, not many strangers in the pub come up and ask random questions about IR35, JSA or whether to take a contract with less money nearer home

What annoys me is having a phone interview with some technical tests, and then a F2F where 90% of the questions are just reasked by someone else

Then you get the gig, end up doing something completely new within the first week and rely entirely on your google fu...just the thing they were making sure you weren't doing at the interview stage

They love it, I get stuff done. They particularly like me because I am always right as well

[northernladuk]

Awwww... c'mere you big bear..

[eek]

It's funny but I can see the comparisons between the few posters I have met and their online persona's. TM is typically TM, SimonMac has many similarities etc. Eek is conundrum though, he comes across on here as charming, witty, intelligent and handsome.......

[psychocandy]

That's a really good response actually. However, it did take a week, which leads me to conclude that you outsourced the writing of it

Much cheapness.

Lets look at the facts:-

1) We've never met.
2) You dont know me.
3) I've never had any technical discussions on this forum so you've got no idea of my technical knowledge.
4) You've got no idea of how I act in real life.

Yes, I might have views about life/agents/clients on here but it doesnt mean I like this is real life.

Yet, apparently, this gives you enough information to label me as 'clueless'? Hmmm.

No, your previous 4930 posts provide us enough evidence to show that you are clueless.

The thinking is no he didn't so he is blaming the interview process.

Dunno. Withdrew anyway. Not suitable (and the rate took a nose-dive it seemed!)

[psychocandy]

You are clueless and you're still around. Go figure !!

Questions I think should be asked are "why?" type questions. So many people do so much without really understanding why they're doing it.

When you ask someone "why" you can easily tell if they really get it or are just going with the flow.

"Tell me the name of the last abstract class you wrote".

I get the logic, and theoretically it's a great question. But I'd just give you a funny look and say "I have no idea".

Why on earth would anyone honestly remember that?

[northernladuk]

did MF get the job then?

The thinking is no he didn't so he is blaming the interview process.
