Im amazed people will actually fall for this.
My rule was a telephone interview followed by an F2F if I liked the sound of the project from the TI or, a single F2F. If they couldnt make their minds up by that point, I made my own and moved on.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostStupidest interview I ever had they had a list of (cant remember now) 50 questions split into 5 categories.
One category I made no claim on my CV to have ANY knowledge of and they knew that. I did mention it.
So I did it anyway, questions were easy - apart from the subject I had no idea. I scored 41 somehow - must have had a few lucky guests.
Agency phoned me. Sorry really unlucky the gig went to someone who had 42. Weird.
I am skeptical but what the hell, I have a phone interview, they really like me and I mention that I don't have [semi-major skill] but that's fine, they want a F2F...
I have the F2F, goes really well, then a week of silence I hear back that they really liked me but they needed [semi major skill] so they waited and eventually hired someone with it.
Why waste my goddamn time.
I could understand the pimp doing this but I specifically mentioned it to their tech guy that interviewed me on the phone.
In future I'll either outright lie about having [semi-major skill] and just wing it or just say no thanks.Comment
