The Automated Interview, The Denny's Interview, & Missing CDL TLA
by in Tales from the Interview on 2009-12-10The Denny's Interview (from Bruce W)
Not too long ago, "TaxQuik" announced major layoffs at the company, and I found myself to be one of the unfortunate few to be without a job. Nervous about being out of work, I found myself responding to just about every job posting that was remotely related to technology. Including a Monster job ad for a "Web site developer".
Shortly after applying for that position, I received an email requesting a demonstration of my programming skills. They wanted me to put together a web page that did some simple addition using JavaScript. I took the eight seconds required to build the page and emailed it right back.
