Well another week has gone by and I bombed another interview.
. I
obviously need to work on my interviewing skills since I keep failing. Needless
to say I didn't get the job at the insurance company. I failed the
object orient a Chicken question as well as the *light bulb problem.
I need to really have answers for
"Why should we hire you" "Describe a problem you had and how you
overcame it" , "Object orient this cheese" (Why?), "What are you most proud of" (I don't know... failing at life?)
"what did you do at X" (I did stuff) so I can rattle off answers without blinking
an eye. I'm not good as selling myself, which shouldn't be too
surprising considering how things have gone lately. I'm usually not
comfortable talking about myself and I often consider the things I've
done to be pretty small in the great scheme of things.
On the other
hand maybe all those employers thought my hair was too long or I'd bring down the diversity of their workplace and thats
why they don't want me. The world is a strange place, but I've heard of
lamer reasons.
On a positive note that bizzare company Frank has
created asked me to find _admin for many of the old sites we did at EIS
so I earned myself $22 before taxes.
*In the basement there are three light switches in the OFF position. Each switch controls one of three light bulbs on floor above. You may move any of the switches but you may only go upstairs to inspect the bulbs
one time. How can you determine the switch for each bulb with one inspection? (solution)
