Crazy Interview Tests

[Peter Loew]

Yes for EGG PLC's software engineer factory in Derby. They wanted me to write a small reporting application in my own time (4 evening's work) according to their specifications. They wouldn't sign an NDA from me saying that it was not to be used by them unless it was either paid for or they employed me, so I told them to fuk off

OMG, that's gotta be the best so far!

I've just realised that PLC doesn't mean Programmable Logic Controller.

I was thinking ladder logic and stuff.

I'll have a lie down now.

I spent 2 minutes trying to work out what EGG stood for.

That manhole cover question is one of a list that purports to come from Microsoft. If you google for "Microsoft Interview Questions" you'll see some real eye-openers.

including how would you move Mt Fuji

You miss the point in all these anal questions, obviously they are trying to identify the replicants amongst you

[vetran]

I'd leave Mt Fuji where it is & move the earth instead.

"Do not try and move the mountain. That's impossible. Instead...only try to realize the truth. There is no mountain.

Then you'll see, that it is not the mountain that moves, it is only yourself."

Joe in "there is only one answer to the question" mode.

I had a telephone interview yesterday.... opening sentence from Doris was " we are actually looking for an ex bank employee"
