A recruiter posted the Job in July on Craigslist 2 months later Recruiter told me to apply for a job # on their web site 1 month later arranged for a phone interview Phone interview was 1 person. It was 7am My time on West Coast. I prepared for two weeks studying algorithms, data structures etc. None of those came up the interview was **All** C# questions. I tier to create a rapor with the guy and gain some insight into the company culture but he was rather uninterested, obviously busy and in a hurry to get the interview over with. So we launched into the C# question session .. the questions were in no particular order and followed one after the other at a furious pace. Anytime I mentioned something like 'delegate' or 'mutex' we wandered off on that tangent until he was satisfied that his knowledge was superior to mine and then we would move on with a 'grunt'. None of the questions involved problem solving or architecture they were all nitty gritty C#/CLR type questions. Things you can look up on Wikipedia or MSDN in 10 minutes. Needless to say some things I didn't know or got wring in hindsight. But it all ended after about 50 minutes... I then told him why I wanted to work there , what I like about the position etc I could tell that I wasn't going to get another interview. It's been two weeks and neither the Recruiter or the Company has got back to me ..but I still have hope lol
