Regarding the MS Project reference, you're quite right -- although I detest this product, it's more because it's the embodiment of 'some guy wearing a suit, sitting in an office telling me what to do because of some damn chart'. When you get down to a GANTT chart that's down to the level of spending half a day writing one specific routine, that's the time to start a new career as a musician .. or something.

Again, an opened ended question goes a long to probing gently about the employers attitude, in this case, towards developers doing overtime. The whole job interview thing is a conversation that's really a negotiation. You have to explore, question, examine, with the understanding that both sides want to get as much information from the other side as possible, so as to make a fully informed decision on whether This Is The One.

Hearing someone describe a job interview as 'self-flagellation' tells me they're not comfortable in their own skin yet. Or maybe it's the jacket and tie -- hey, if you're not comfortable in it, ditch it and wear something comfortable. Think about it this way -- if you're going to wear a suit every day, then wear one to the interview. If not, not. I wore black jeans, nice shirt and sweater to my first interview at $work[-1] and I was probably the best-dressed in the room. I dressed down (ditched the sweater) for the second interview, and it was (as the kids say) all good.

And thanks for the vote of confidence. ;)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
