errantemberAbout five minutes before my technical interview for a job I'm looking at, I decided to engage in some judicious cyber-stalking to get some background on my interviewer.
It turns out, in a company large enough to have a separate HR department, he's the CEO.
Not information I needed right that point in time. :)
However, I think I did very well. There was only one question I didn't know the answer of off the top of my head, but with minimal hinting, I think I managed to manufacture a suitable answer. The other five or six I got pretty easily, which was a relief. With technical interviews, you never know when the person will ask something about a feature of a language you programmed in for 20 years that you haven't used in ten. This time, it was all relevant.
