Do you have a link to the one you did? It would be fun to try to do the same one... ^_^

When did jobs get so difficult? 20 years ago people didn't even have CVs!

could you possibly guess the answers they want to make you the right fit for the job? I suppose that wouldn't be as easy as it sounds.

Good luck, dude.
