When An Interview Is Just The Job.

Ah, come in. Take a seat, I'll be with you in a moment. While you're waiting.....

.......here is a questionnaire; well, a little technical test really.
Don't worry if it is a little too difficult.
No?
Well, we have a spare computer in the corner-just show us what you can do. We've had quite a few people take our little test.
What? You don't know how? Well, it's a special technique-afterwards you can do all your recursive loop and pointer manipulation stuff, don't you know, but this is what we really need you to be able to do.

or, how about.......

this is how we do it. Yes.
But how would you go about doing this?
Yes, but how?
Yes, but how?
Yes, but how?
(2 hours later)
And how would you do it?


In other words, these bastards don't know how to do their jobs.
They aren't prepared to admit it.
They aren't prepared to pay for it.
So they advertise a 'job'.
With lots of different agencies, so they get to 'interview' loads of talent.
And each time they get a little bit more of what they need(they hope), so that one day they ring up all the agents and tell them that 'some other' candidate got the 'job'.

This has happened to me twice. It is a fact that there are some filthy scum out there who want to rip you off without you ever receiving a wage or even an offer.
Is it any wonder there are people around who want to put the bourgeoisie up against a wall, when this is how the 'vested interests' protect the status quo, by fraud, lies and theft?
