Good tips, thanks! I think this is more of a tech screen thing to make sure I know my stuff. I'll def be on hands free though so I can type if needed (not sure if they need me to access a remote computer or something). Will def have CV on standby also. It's arranged for 7:30 pm on Friday (11:30 am PDT) so should be fairly quiet in the house anyway.

Good luck and I hope that they offer you ridiculous sums of money to do it as well.

Brilliant news, Oli. Best of luck to you. Just remember, if it is a phone interview, to invest in a silent keyboard. I did that once, and just googled anything I wasn't sure of... I got the job and they never twigged!  I was made redundant, by the way, not sacked for being a flim flam man...

LOL! Well I've got an Apple one and it's very silent. One downside of spending so much time designing Aa keyboard.

Just be sure it is silent, at Sun you were disqualified if they thought they heard typing :/ Good luck!

At Google you code into a shared Google Doc. You couldn't be accepted if you didn't type! (8-p)

Ah FFS! My brother just reminded me that we're off to see Jesus Christ Superstar on Friday evening.
Right when I've booked the apple thing.
I'd normally just cancel the show but he bought the tickets for me for my birthday.
I've asked the lady at Apple if we can rearrange for tomorrow.
Gutted though, couldn't have been a worse combination of things to double book.

If she can't rearrange; cancel the show and don't even think twice about it.
(I wouldn't put Andrew Lloyd Webber before a career... maybe Les Mis..)

I've rearranged it for Wednesday evening instead.

Getting nervous now! Should be getting a phone call in about half an hour! Been watching WWDC videos all week in an attempt to absorb more information about iPhone dev

Good luck, and hope that you get the job. Will they be sending the private jet to collect you?
