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.

HOW TO RECOVER YOUR STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENCIES? HIRE CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES
A Bitcoin hardware wallet is often considered the ultimate security measure, the fail-safe that protects your assets from theft, hacking, or any other risks. Unless you lose it during a move, and that’s exactly what I did.
$450,000 worth of Bitcoin, securely stored on a hardware wallet, was now somewhere between my old apartment and my new one. I searched everywhere every box, every bag, even checked the fridge (yes, I checked the fridge don’t judge me). But despite my efforts, the wallet was nowhere to be found. The panic that set in was indescribable. I felt like I had lost everything, and the sinking feeling in my stomach was impossible to shake.
Desperate, I turned to CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES. I wasn’t sure what they could do for me, but I figured I had nothing to lose. From the first moment I contacted them, I could tell I was dealing with professionals. Their team stayed calm, composed, and confident in the face of my panic. They quickly laid out the steps they would take to try and recover my funds, explaining how they could use advanced methods to retrieve my private keys remotely and restore access to my wallet. I was reassured by their clear communication and methodical approach.
What really set CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES apart was their professionalism and transparency. While I was frazzled and overwhelmed, they were calm and focused. They kept me updated at every stage of the process, providing clear explanations about what they were doing and why. This level of communication was invaluable, as it gave me a sense of control over a situation that was otherwise completely out of my hands.
Another major plus was their honest, upfront pricing. There were no hidden fees or surprise charges, which made the entire process less stressful. I knew exactly what I was paying for, and I appreciated the transparency throughout the entire recovery process.
And then, after a tense waiting period, I got the call I had been hoping for: They had recovered my Bitcoin. Every single penny of my $450,000 was safely returned to my wallet. The relief I felt was indescribable. It was a huge weight off my shoulders, and I couldn’t believe my luck.
But they didn’t stop there. They also took the time to secure my other wallet, which held an additional $480,000, ensuring that I wouldn’t fall victim to another attack in the future. Their guidance on security best practices made me feel confident in my ability to protect my assets going forward.
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate, call CERTIFIED RECOVERY SERVICES. They are the real deal, and they’ll get you back on track.
