    Just had an interview from hell

    The first question asked?
    What do you want out of life?
    To make matters worse he had half an egg yolk down the front of his shirt, he stank of BO and had a hair cut even Duncan Goodhew wouldn't envy

              I have had two interviews this week. One was a technical test to which I hit a wall as my Qt environment locked and would not debug so I had to email the code to myself and reboot into windows - which then crashed. Eventually I got MSDEV working and ran out of time. Sent what I had, emailed the agent and Windows crashed again. Luckily I did not want the job but I did want the test experience, which I have now added to the list of sample programs that I can quickly write.

              Today's was one over the phone with someone sitting in a horribly echoy room. Got the old 'describe yourself in 3 words question' I stick with the reply 'resourceful, vengeful, violent'. Still it was experience and I have bagged the questions and added them to my interview revision doc for when I get an interview I want after the gig here finishes.

                I remember a mate of mine telling me about an interview where he was asked 'what do you like about the environment here?'

                He said 'I like the way everyone is on first name terms, like I was saying to, errr, wotsisname.....'
