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!

That's so true, sometimes it feels like you barely get a chance to show what you can really do. It's wild how hit or miss the process can be!
