I did face such situation, when I came here. But, it was after first interview, interviewing person, given me certain task , and ask me to complete, but it was not fishing, I've been to their office, he did given me his card, and it was his true effort to judge my skills.nshar1 wrote: Anybody else faced the same ?
Anybody completed an assignment ?
This could become such an easy business model. ..Don't hire any architects,developers etc......misuse desparate unsuspecting job seekers and get the work done by them.netacct wrote:But I wont say that its fraud. Sometime it is just our interpretation re completeness. I have been asked few times and have done couple of them.
There are not going to make any money with this simple address site stuff...Can they?
In two hours the quality will stink.netacct wrote:Fortunately/Unfortunately I have too much experience in giving interviews in UK in last 6 months and got quite a few offer.
Roughly, I gave around 25 interview and got around 10 offers.
Dealt with many agencies.
Agency/Consultant can be fake but the assignment are generally not.
I have gone through your assignment and I can do it in roughly two hours but in ASP.NET/.Net as I do not know much Java/Tomcat...May not be 100% perfect. They just see how you approach the solution.
My previous comment:
--------------------------
You will learn something by doing it.
Its your choice what you want to do.
If you don't do, someone else. After all there are plenty of fish.
there are many better ways of learning things.netacct wrote: You will learn something by doing it .
What makes you think the candidate is the loser here. I say the organization,if genuine(which I am sure it is not), is the bigger looser. No hardcore professional, who values his time, would like to waste too much time on a small unknown organization. In summary,they are missing out on hardcore professionals.netacct wrote: If you don't do, someone else. After all there are plenty of fish .
At our place, this would need seven pre-design meetings, scope discussions, implementation timeline drawing up, six releases into CVS before it sort-of worked but crashed a lot, then immediately superseded with planning for version 2, the projection being to have a fully working solution by version 10 with a view to go-live sometime late 2015.nshar1 wrote:Heres what this assignment looked like:
Your task is to create a simple address book web site with three pages.
Snipped huge task!
The second page should list all stored numbers and names, sorted alphabetically.
The third page should allow a user to search the address book by phone number (exact number, not substrings) and also by full name or part of a name (case insensitive). It should display all matching names and related phone numbers for the search criteria.
Do let me know if you have any questions on this and I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
