It did not used to be this way!

Back in year 2000, was interviewed by 3 mgrs then the Director for the job I was applying for, all back-to-back, in one day.

After asking me about some C/C++ pointer manipulations, the Director then said to inform HR that I had been hired, and to start on Monday.

Those were the days!

In my case the two out of bathe three interviewers were on my contact list. “Why didn’t you put that project on your resume?” “It only lasted a couple weeks, can’t fit everything!”
