Some detail-oriented JobsBlog viewers observed that in a prior publish I pointed out a “coding exercise” I use in location of a technical telephone interview. I've gotten rather loads of emails asking for this exercise. So all of you got me thinking … Are you a Master Coder?? Here is your chance. For one week (starting today), I will send you a coding physical exercise, and your results will be personally evaluated by a team of engineers. No more worrying about if you have the right title, degree or job ... just proving your core smarts will have us rolling out the red carpet. Here is how it works: You email me your resume with the words “Coding Exercise” in the title. I will send you a mail with the subject line: 'Open ONLY When Ready - Coding Exercise'. You will have one hour to complete the physical exercise, so please only open the email when you are ready to begin. (You can do it on the weekend or in your free time). When you open the email you will be given the message: "Jenna Adorno (HALL) has requested a read receipt be sent when message ' Open ONLY When Ready - Coding Exercise' has been read. Do you want to send a receipt?" Please select YES. Then begin the physical exercise; you will have one hour to complete it. Email it back to me when you are finished. Anyone who is tempted to cheat or post the problems on their website or blog will be punished by the spirits of new-job-seeking karma. Don’t do it. And if you are the dragon slayer of syntax and you impress my team with some high performing, elegantly written code, I am happy to post your name/picture here (with your permission of course) and name you the Grand Master. (Oh yeah ... and if you want a new job you can likely get that,
Office Home And Student 2010 Sale, too.) --Jenna
