Interview, noon at ngayon.

I just got another proof that kids these days want to be spoon fed. Or at least the students who interviewed me earlier - There was this group of students that came in our office to interview some Java developers. I was picked by "inimaynimo" by my team, thus I gave 20 mins of my time.

Basically the [comp sci] students wanted to know what kind of systems I'm working with, when or where or why I would recommend Java, etc. I have no idea what this is for, but I assume it's the school's way to prepare them for the industry or maybe just to let them appreciate Java in a different way. I really dunno. ANYWAY.

The main interviewer wasn't prepared, she didn't have a script of questions. good if she memorized, but no, she was stuttering, changing words time to time to correct her grammar, stopping the video taker too sometimes when she feels like she asked the wrong questions, etc. her groupmates on the other hand, weren't so helpful as they also can't remember the questions they needed. Then after the interviewer's "last" question (If I remember correctly, that was, what PL would I recommend, and what advice can I give to comp sci students like them) ...she then jumped back to which part of Java I like least and what IDE I'm using. gaaah. Before leaving they discussed too, IN FRONT OF ME, if they overlooked something, if the questions are "pwede na", if that interview would be enough for their project, etc.

They were obviously not prepared. The whole thing was really messy, they were putting themselves (and their school) in shame. tsk tsk kids. That was really far from the interviews I (or we) did back in college! otherwise I could've gotten a 0.0 in FILIPI (oh, how fun and fulfilling those days were... hehe)

At least I got a box of krispy kreme - token of appreciation. :)
Sorry, I'm such a bitch for posting this, but you kids should learn!
