Interview
I was first asked to fill out some forms, then met with two people. Naturally, I was nervous but they made me feel pretty comfortable, which helped. They explained to me what the position was about, and gave me an opportunity to ask questions. I met with a man and a woman, both were polite and professional. After I spoke to them for about 20 minutes, I was asked to correct a mistake in coding. The testing was difficult and I was surprised. On similar interviews, I haven't been asked to do anything like that but I guess it makes sense. Overall I really liked the people there, and the atmosphere seemed like a place I would like to work.

Interview
I was brought into their office and everything was very cordial and inviting until I sat down with one of the realtors for the interview. Beyond being unwilling to pay a living wage for the position ($15/hour is NOT a reasonable wage for any Graphic Designer, no matter how junior the role), the interviewer swore frequently and actually asked me if I went to church. When I replied "no" he seemed to lose interest and asked questions very quickly with little regard to the answers I was giving.
The rest of the interview consisted of a math test (?) and an InDesign test where they had you try to recreate as much of an advertisement as possible in 10 minutes. The rest of the staff was very professional and friendly.
I never received a call back, something I was told I would get just to let me know if I had gotten the job or not. I even emailed them to check on the status of my application after I saw that they had reposted the job, but got no response.
I have little doubt that I was not hired because I don't go to a church, or at the very least, failed to give the answer that he was looking for. I am also considering filing a human rights complaint, as some might see that as discrimination. I know I certainly do.

Interview
I had sent my resume in order to be hired by e-mail and got a call days later to setup a date for the one on one interview. Once on location, I've met with the person I would work with as well as the hiring manager. The hiring manager was prepared while the other ones barely look at the resume. That one proceeded to ask question about which type of code I know and then gave me a piece of paper and a pen. That person asked me to right some code in a certain language while seeing nervous as well as proceeded to ask questions about languages that were not listed as part of my skills set as described in my resume. The interview took a weird turn when the individual seemed to be angry before being dismissed by the hiring manager who seemed more understanding. You then might have to showcase your portfolio and if you have no more questions, that will be the end of the interview and they'll say that they'll contact you.
Don't expect to be called back or contacted if you have not be chosen.

Question 1
There was no questions per say. It was basically a showcase of skills.
