So, I had an interview with Exstream Software today. An 8-hour interview. I got there at 9 am and walked out around 5:10 pm. It was....long. Overall it seems like a pretty awesome place. I'd love to work there, I think.
Anyway, So I rush to my Russian class at 6pm, when I get out, I check my voice mail. It's Fusion Systems again, and he wants to talk to me tonight. So I'm like "AAAAAHHHHH!!!! ANOTHER INTERVIEW!!!! *bang*" Anyway, just got off the phone with him, we setup something tomorrow night. It's definitely sounding like they just want to straight-up offer me the job. What he said was he'd call me tomorrow, and we'd talk some numbers and what it's like to work at fusion, and get this thing finalized. And I'm like..."awesome."
My interview with Exstream went well. I'm pretty sure I'll get offered the job there too. Had a decent bit of weird interview questions too. Specifically "Okay, you work at a huge library. The president of the United States calls you and asks for a book. You look it up in your system, it says it's there, so you tell him you have it. You go to the shelf to find the book and it's not there. What do you do?" "Look for it." "You can't find it." "Ask the other employees about it." "There's noone else around" "Call local libraries and bookstores trying to find it." "None of them have it." "Call the president back and tell him you don't have it." "You don't have his number" "Uhhhh....get online and post a random message on some bbs looking for local people who have the book?" "Noone responds." "Start a new plot to assassinate the president once he gets there, so his need for the book is no longer important."
Okay, I made up the last one....the rest were answers I gave and his responses.
Another guy asked me "How many gas stations are there in Boston?" and "If you have to get rid of a US state, which one would you get rid of?" Those are the weirdest...
