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

LOL! I hope so :D

TBH I'm just hoping that I don't know how to answer anything that he says.

That's a worry I've got. He'll start talking and to me it will just sound like "gdsfadsflkj asdflkj hasdf gasdlfha dsfaklsdjhf adslfkj halsdf asdflkjh asdf?" and I'll be "..." :cry:

Remember that many interview questions are designed to be impossible to answer. It is more a matter of how you try and tackle the question that is crucial.

So I suspect they are trying to find out your problem solving skills. These are more useful rather to Apple than bog standard coding.

Woah, I think that went really badly.

A couple of really simple questions that I just didn't know the answer to.

I think I fumbled through to get to a possibly correct answer at the end but I'm not sure.

Hopes not high.

:lol:

I was ridiculously nervous though.

So one of the questions I sort of got right.

However I messed up when he asked me what the big O notation of the algorithm would be even though I kind of knew it. Nerves I think :-(

Similar q in the programming thread.

Okay you got nervous. How do you think anyone else would be in the same circumstance? You may have actually been better than others in the same boat. You can never tell. Anyway good luck.

Is it someone's birthday today? Have a good one, and here's hoping something good comes from the interview. It's all experience whatever the outcome.
