The Pressure Is On
I'm starting to get stressed now. I have a Japanese quiz tomorrow I spent the afternoon studying for, which means less time to study for my upcoming interview. Funny thing about that interview... I still haven't received any travel arrangements. I would really hate to miss the interview for a reason as stupid as they didn't fly me over there.
I'm checking my email compulsively every 5 minutes, but I'm always disappointed by either an empty inbox or ads to enlarge certain body parts.
Next on the list of interview study material: data structures and algorithms. Words like B-Tree, Quicksort, Dynamic Programming and Boolean all sound familiar, but if they ever came up in an interview I think I'd freeze up.
Another funny thing is that they want a list of references. The problem I have is that all my previous employers:
- Have either moved on, or have been laid off (Corel).
- Have only a basic grasp of English (AISoft).
- Are the ones interviewing me (Microsoft).
