Interviews

Well my "face to face" interview on Thursday turned out to be a written test which took about an hour. Some curly questions again, but a few were repeated from the telephone interview which was handy. There was no other interaction apart from here is a test, call me when you're done. Call, hand over the test and then leave. I thought I did ok. There was a whole section on database stuff for which I had no clue. Rang my recruiter and it turns out that they were happy with my results, so I have another interview tomorrow morning (Monday) 9am. I have no idea what to expect from this one.

My Friday arvo interview was pretty interesting. Once again I arrived, only to be handed a "test" to be done and 30 mins to do it in. Wasn't too difficult. Find a couple of bugs in some C code and reverse a string. After 30 mins the cavalry arrived and we went through my answers. They seemed happy enough. The next hour or so was pretty much a standard interview. The finale was a bit of an open ended question where you are expected to ask questions etc to get the full scope of the problem before continuing. Didnt do so well on that. Turns out it wasnt a complete failure as I got a second interview with them too. Not sure about the second interview with these guys either. The recruiter hinted that the questions in the second interview would be more kind of logic/thought process stuff. Should be interesting.

It is actually turning out to be a little bit stressful all this job hunting. I can't wait until its' all over. I will either be a very happy or sad boy by the end of next week. We shall see.
