Favored engineering interview questions.
So did you know...? All engineers at Google interview candidates as often as possible and like many of my co-workers I've pared down what was a previously substantial body of stumper questions to a shorter, more incisive, and significantly more powerful query set. And I'd like to share that (shh).Please don't try and study these before coming in for an interview. I'll know. I just will.
- If you were a flower - particularly one that had nearly infinite scalable indexing of the internet - what kind of flower would you be?
- If Yahoo were Ashlee Simpson and Google were Jessica Simpson whose album would you be less likely to download illegally?
- For the block and a chance to win ONE MILLION hours of overtime (work, not pay) who asked where "the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?"

Dear Chris,
I would need your help. I'm from Hungary, and I've been useing blogger.com since two years. So far everithing was well. But now if I write something it won't be there. As I see the syste is cancell it. Can it be possible?
It is not allowed to publish my sentences, just the title of it. What do you think of it?
Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

Hmm, if you interview candidates regularly, probably you develop your coomunication skills and ability to recognize people skills and attitude from the first glance.
Nice :)

for nina
it may be you're using opera for posting to blogger (like me ^_^). there was known issue with that browser (version 8-8.5), and now it's fixed

uh, sorry, but i think that the simpsons approach is all wrong...perhaps mary-kate and ashley (and then the candidate has to basically choose between bad clothing design ideas or an eating disorder)...

Easy shit.
1. Since I, as a flower, would have infinite scalability of the internet, I would have to be Spiderbane, which is actually an herb, but is poisonous to spiders.
2. Illegal downloads are bad, BAD! :-)
3. No idea, but I'm not about to work a million hours with no pay.

Hi Chris,
This is the Dealership fan who you ran into a few months ago at the MV campus while I was getting the grand tour from Ruchira. I've got my onsite interview scheduled (Dec 6), and this post was a HUGE help in preparing. I only wish I knew my flowers better (what's the latin name for philodendron?)
