I think a job that makes you box a kangaroo for the position should be more common.
Never had them wheel in a whiteboard but I did have an interview right after graduating where the recruiter lied about my experience level. The conversation part had been painful, with the interviewers quickly realising I was not right for the role. For some reason I was wearing a full suit because I thought you were supposed to for interviews (typically you do not do this in dev/IT lol).
Just when I thought they were going to let me go someone brought in a laptop and connected it to an overhead projector. Then asked me to refactor and fix bugs in some sample C# code; I only knew Java. It was excruciating and I'll never use a recruiter again. Approaching 8 years in the industry working at 3 different companies and never needed a recruiter for any of those roles.
Man I wish interviews only went for 3 rounds
Blimey how many is it nowadays? I'm OOTL
I mean some places are reasonable, but I just went 5 rounds and didn't get a job offer, to give you an idea. 😭 that was in tech, though.
But then for something local I had one interview, training session, then just started working. So it really depends.
5???? Fucking hell mate that's a lot
Yeah that was a record for me. Thank you for saying so. It was kind of crushing
A casual place for banter and anything that doesn't fit in anywhere else.
Have chat and a natter. Talk about anything and everything that's not political!
Keep it casual.
