Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain about a time where you had to overcome a difficulty in a project.
Talked through my cv and my skills, asked how I would handle certain scenarios and then did an aptitude test to make sure I was competent at doing my job.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Ideal Boilers (Hull, England)
Interview
The process involved 2 stage interview and practical assessment.
The first stage was with a manager and a software developer were I discussed my experience and skills.
The second interview was with the the manager from the first interview, a HR person and the CIO. This was a more general interview where they ask carefully selected questions designed to trip up the interviewee.
One question which the CIO asked was: "Are you a geek?" To which I sat out uncomfortably :(
Moving on to the hands on assessment. It was a fairly straight forward .NET program written as a console application. I had to fix a few bugs they had left in.
I'd later find out I had failed the hands-on assessment which I now I hadn't which was even more disappointing .
