Recruiter troubles
Either the recruiter I spoke with yesterday didn't understand what the position I interviewed for was, or greatly overestimated my abilities and experience.
More likely the recruiter had some sort of quota to fill, saw the job required "Exchange" and "Active Directory" and that my resume had both of those terms.
I got to the office and was greeted with an Non Disclosure Agreement and a three page written test to be filled out before I met with the interviewer.
Caught off guard, I sat down to tackle the test.
It quickly became clear that I do not possess the knowledge and experience required to complete the test. I filled in the answers I could, guessed at others, and left a couple blank, then turned it in.
~30 minutes of test, then a 10 minute conversation with the interviewer wherein we agreed I was not qualified for the position, but he will keep my resume on file for lower-level positions that open up.
The day sort of went down hill from there, but quickly evened out.
I met with some of the other people involved in the seekrit writing project I mentioned a couple weeks ago and came up with an actual good reason to include lines of iambic quadrameter (or pentameter). So that's a plus.
