My opinion of driving in America has been somewhat tainted by Los Angeles. I assume it will take forever, and be confusing, to drive within a US city. But Seattle was nicely laid out and I didn’t have too much of an issue. I drove 50.8 miles though, so I don’t think I will reach my running goal this week. If I tracked from Wednesday to Wednesday I would totally have it made, but that would be unethical.
There were two interviews. I think the first one went well. It was actually fun; I was given a programming problem and had to find a solution. The second interview didn’t go as well. I didn’t flub it, but it was dealing with an area I wasn’t too familiar with. Could have gone better.
In any case it was a nice experience. The company had a wonderful layout and an impressive building. Interesting art too. It would be nice to work there.
Yesterday, when I should have been studying for the interview, I was dealing with another interview test with a different company. I thought I had provided a good answer, but I just received an email saying “No, thanks for trying.” I’m hoping I can get from them a reason why; where did my program fail. It worked on my machine.
So I’m feeling a bit down right now. I’d like to believe I’m intelligent, and employable, but evidence is starting to mount otherwise. Are my skills out of date?
