Rant on:
I don't mind technical interrogations ONLY if the questions are germaine to the position. One of interviewers this morning made the following mistakes:
[/list]Opened his conversation with name dropping. "Do you know such and such and such and such." Bad, bad bad!
[/list]The interviewer proceeded with a barage of extensive and deep technical questions that most did not apply to the position at hand. At some point I had to flat out diagree with him because he was clearly wrong.
[/list]As I kept things light hearted, I stated that he had great questions, which he proceeded to respond with "These are very basic questions..."
In summary, the interview ended by being completely out of control because the interviewer felt he needed to one up me. I'm okay with not getting this particular job. The pay scale is very low (a goverment job) and frankly I don't want to work with folks who feel the need to name drop and one up.
Okay, rant off. Thanks for listening
