Interviewer: Welcome, Mr X. Thanks for dropping by. We like to keep our interviews informal. And even though I have all the power here, and you are nothing but a cretin, let’s pretend we are going to have fun here.

Mr X: Sure, man, whatever.

I: Let’s start with the technical stuff, shall we? Do you know what a linked list is?

X: (Tells what it is).

I: Great. Can you tell me where linked lists are used?

X:: Sure. In interview questions.

I: What?

X: The only time linked lists come up is in interview questions.

I:: That’s not true. They have lots of real world applications. Like, like…. (fumbles)

X:: Like to implement memory allocation in operating systems. But you don’t sell operating systems, do you?

I:: Well… moving on. Do you know what the Big O notation is?

X: Sure. It’s another thing used only in interviews.

I: What?! Not true at all. What if you want to sort a billion records a minute, like Google has to?

X: But you are not Google, are you? You are hiring me to work with 5 year old PHP code, and most of the tasks will be hacking HTML/CSS. Why don’t you ask me something I will actually be doing?
I: (Getting a bit frustrated)  Fine. How would you do FooBar in version X of PHP?

X: I would, er, Google that.

I: And how do you call library ABC in PHP?

X: Google?

I: (shocked) OMG. You mean you don’t remember all the 97 million PHP functions, and have to actually Google stuff? What if the Internet goes down?

X: Does it? We’re in the 1st world, aren’t we?

I: Tut, tut. Kids these days. Anyway,looking at your resume, we need at least 7 years of ReactJS. You don’t have that.

X: That’s great, because React came out last year.

I: Excuses, excuses. Let’s ask some lateral thinking questions. How would you go about finding how many piano tuners there are in San Francisco?

X: 37.

I: What?!

X: 37. I googled before coming here. Also Googled other puzzle questions. You can fit 7,895,345 balls in a Boeing 747. Manholes covers are round because that is the shape that won’t fall in. You ask the guard what the other guard would say. You then take the fox across the bridge first, and eat the chicken. As for how to move Mount Fuji, you tell it a sad story.

I: Ooooooooookkkkkaaaayyyyyyy. Right, tell me a bit about yourself.

X: Everything is there in the resume.

I: I mean other than that. What sort of a person are you? What are your hobbies?

X: Japanese culture.

I: Interesting. What specifically?

X: Hentai.

I: What’s hentai?

X: It’s an televised art form.

I: Ok. Now, can you give me an example of a time when you were really challenged?

X: Well, just the other day, a few pennies from my pocket fell behind the sofa. Took me an hour to take them out. Boy was it challenging.

I: I meant technical challenge.

X: I once spent 10 hours installing Windows 10 on a Mac.

I: Why did you do that?

X: I had nothing better to do.

I: Why did you decide to apply to us?

X: The voices in my head told me.

I: What?

X: You advertised a job, so I applied.
I: And why do you want to change your job?

X: Money, baby!

I: (shocked)

X: I mean, I am looking for more lateral changes in a fast moving cloud connected social media agile web 2.0 company.

I: Great. That’s the answer we were looking for.  What do you feel about constant overtime?

X: I don’t know. What do you feel about overtime pay?

I: What is your biggest weakness?

X: Kryptonite. Also, ice cream.

I: What are your salary expectations?

X: A million dollars a year, three months paid vacation on the beach, stock options, the lot. Failing that, whatever you have.

I: Great. Any questions for me?

X: No.

I: No? You are supposed to ask me a question, to impress me with your knowledge. I’ll ask you one. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

X: Doing your job, minus the stupid questions.

I: Get out. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.

    I had a great interview question once it was "When you leave and you remember that question you wanted to ask, what would that question be?" to which i replied "i can't tell you as it hasn't happened yet".
  • 20
    Back when I was in highschool I got a job at a tea shop.... During the interview they asked: "If you were to describe yourself as a cupcake, what would it be?"

    What the hell... What kind a question is that. Pretty sure I said "Well that's a pointless question; Probably a vanilla cupcake with a cherry on top"

    Seriously though. What the hell.

    Me : Maximum

    I : tell me about your self

    Me : already in resume

    I : what is not in resume

    I laughed and thorough enjoyed it. But upon reflection, I felt like crying because that is painfully true at the same time. Interviews are becoming more of a sequence of dances in a russian roulette than actual relevant questions that pertain to that role.

    XD Sadly this is actually more or less how interviews go (minus the niceness in the conversation above).

    I went through two interviews for a job (I declined). Both of the interviews were approx. 90-95% the same. Same questions, same answers. I got bored to tears. The only few times I had fun was when the HR lady snapped at me whenever I would ask a preposterous question like "Without exact numbers can you give me your annual turnover for the company and the department I will be part of?".

    I really hate both code tests and interview questions that just mirror some silly lecture from university where even the professor has the aura of "You will never need this in your entire career".

    I despise both code tests and interview questions that are merely rehashed versions of some nonsense lecture from university, where even the lecturer exudes the attitude of "You will never use this in your entire lifetime. Regards, https://essaymania.co.uk/buy-essay-...

    Linked list, used in almost any project. Ah right... I would rather copy the whole array of objects and invoke copy constructors on all them to a new lovely memory region, and then perform a whole bunch of destructor invocations... genius :) I see a web developer here!
