He just fell out of the top 2 in the yearly list for the first time since 1991 though he had temporary moments
Woof blowing the first question of a phone interview and then having to slag through the next 30 minutes is tough
I thought it was an HR screener type of interview and they hit me with a technical question I would have needed a financial calculator or computer to solve, so I just said then steps I would do to find the answer and they asked me for a hard number. I don't know if they have an internal hire or something already and are just trolling and checking boxes or what.
Wut.... yea that sounds like they were either testing what you would do under (fake) pressure but weird for a first question. Or you're right that they need to interview x amount of external to check an HR box.
You wouldn't want to work for them anyway if they do that to interviewees
I would have even settled for them giving me 5 minutes to napkin math it but it didn't seem like they were going to wait
I did something like this in school every time i needed to do some biographical report, starting in elementary school.
I just added to the material from the previous year every time.

A job I really hoped to get started off with "Tell us why you are the exact perfect fit for our college."
I'm horrible at questions like that. I stumbled something out, then we had a really good interview that kept getting better.
But they hired someone much cheaper on their pay scale, and it was probably all a waste of time.
I'm hurt.Awww, you'll always be the resident RTT nerd, @CycloneErik , if not for also all of CF.

While I am, they strangely did this interview with all cameras off. No doubt that cost me big.
Well, yeah, now that I have bowed out of university teaching. The field is wide open.
edit: The issue is I adjunct manufacturing engineering classes. I think I had less than 10 females in 12 years of teaching.
I did economics, money and banking, production and operations, and a couple others. We’re at night and usually had two groups, the 25-45 year olds and the Tanzania students. Where I learned they liked to party. All they talked about.
I might take up youth flag football coaching. Having a blast coaching my sons 1st and 2nd grade team this fall. There’s gotta be some serious money in that. NIL guys!
Fitness setback. Dug a huge bunch off hostas from a teardown house near me and gave lots away to neighbors. Found these as a thank you on my porch late this afternoon. Not ALL of my neighbors are asses.

So……I’m officially old now (according to my nephew who texted me). Thought the wife was being nice when she said that us and the youngest would go out for supper. Get into the car and the wife asks if I have my money clip. Cripes, had to buy my own supper on my birthday. In fact I had to pay for the wife and one kid also so it seemed like somebody else’s.
