Sit down before you read this.
So I interviewed a guy for a "Support Engineer" internship position.
Me and the team lead sit down and are waiting for him to enter, but apparently he's actually making a coffee in the kitchen.
This isn't exactly a strike since the receptionist told him that he can go get a drink, and we did too. It's just always expected for him to get a glass of water, not waste 3 minutes brewing a coffee.
In any case he comes in, puts the coffee on the table, then his phone, then his wallet, then his keys and then sits on our side of the table.
I ask him to sit in front of us so we can see him. He takes a minute to pack and tranfer himself to the other side of the table. He again places all of the objects on the table.
We begin, team lead tells him about the company. Then I ask him whether he got any questions regarding the job, the team or the company . For the next 15 minutes he bombards us with mostly irrelevant and sometimes inappropriate questions, like:
0: Can I choose my own nickname when getting an email address?
1: Does the entire department get same salaries?
2: Are there yoga classes on Sundays only or every morning?
3: Will I get a car?
4: Does the firm support workspace equality? How many chicks are in the team?
5: I want the newest grey Mac.
And then.. Then the questions turn into demands:
6: I need a high salary (asks for 2.5 more than the job pays. Which is still a lot).
I ask him why would he get that at his first job in the industry (remind you, this is an internship and we are a relatively high paying company).
He says he's getting paid more at his current job.
His CV lists no current job and only indicates that he just finished studying.
He says that he's working at his parent's business...
Next he says that he is very talented and has to be promoted very quickly and that we need to teach him a lot and finance his courses.
At this point me and the team lead were barely holding our laughs.
The team lead asks him about his English (English is not our native language).
He replies "It's good, trust me".
Team lead invites him for an English conversation. Team lead acts like a customer with a broken internet and the guy is there to troubleshoot. (btw that's not job related, just a simple scenario)
TL: "Hello, my name is Andrew, I'm calli..."
Guy: *interrupts* "Yes, yes, hi! Hi! What do you want?"
TL: "Well, if you let me fi..."
Guy: "Ok! Talk!"
TL: "...inish... My internet is not working."
Guy: "Ok, *mimics tuning a V engine or cooking a soup* I fixed! *points at TL* now you say 'yes you fixed'".
Important to note that his English was horrible. Disregarding the accent he just genuinely does not know the language well.
Then he continiues with "See? Good English. Told you no need to check!".
After about half a minute of choking on out silent laughter I ask him how much Python experience he has (job lists a requirement of at least 1 year).
He replies "I'm very good at object oriented functional programming".
I ask again "But what is your experience? Did you ever take any courses? Do you have a git repository to show? Any side.."
*he interrupts again* "I only use Matlab!".
Team lead stands up and proceeds to shake his hand while saying "we will get back to you".
At last the guy says with a stupid smile on his face "You better hire me! Call me back tomorrow." Leaves TL hanging and walks away after packing his stuff into the pockets.
I was so shocked that I wasn't even angry.
We both laughed for the rest of the day though. It was probably the weirdest interview I took part at.35 -
I don't know who tf thought it would be a good idea to implement Workspace Trust in an IDE and force enable it on update. Yeah. It's so fun having to click "I trust this workspace" every single time when I get a new project or a code from someone, even when I open a project that I created but didn't open since this update.3

With a focus on quality and customer satisfaction, we are your go-to partner for all commercial exterior cleaning needs.
Commercial Paver Cleaning and Sealing: Protect Your Investment
Pavers enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your commercial property, but over time, dirt, moss, and weathering can dull their appearance. Regular maintenance with commercial paver cleaning and sealing can restore the beauty and protect your investment, ensuring your property looks its best.
Why Choose Us for Paver Cleaning and Sealing?
Restoring Aesthetic Appeal
Our paver cleaning and sealing services remove grime, stains, and discoloration, bringing back the vibrant colors of your pavers. Clean pavers also enhance the overall curb appeal of your property, creating a more welcoming atmosphere for customers.
Preventing Damage
Sealing your pavers helps protect them from harsh weather, dirt, and oil stains, ensuring they remain in top condition for longer. It also helps prevent weed growth between pavers, making your outdoor spaces look cleaner and more polished.
Long-Lasting Results
Our sealing solutions are designed to withstand the Florida climate, offering long-lasting protection against the elements. A well-sealed surface will resist fading and degradation, helping you avoid costly repairs or replacements.
Increased Property Value
Clean, well-maintained pavers can increase the value of your commercial property. Whether you're leasing or selling, a well-maintained exterior can leave a lasting impression on potential tenants or buyers.
Storefront Soft Washing Experts: Enhance Your Business’s Curb Appeal
The exterior of your store is the first thing customers see when they visit your business. Over time, the buildup of dirt, mildew, and algae can make your storefront appear dingy and uninviting. Storefront soft washing experts at Wild West Pressure Washing use a gentle yet effective approach to clean your storefront without causing any damage to delicate surfaces.
Benefits of Storefront Soft Washing:
Gentle on Surfaces
Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions, making it safe for delicate surfaces such as windows, signs, and siding. This ensures that your storefront remains in pristine condition while being thoroughly cleaned.
Effective Dirt and Stain Removal
Soft washing effectively removes dirt, mold, mildew, algae, and other stubborn stains that can accumulate on your building’s exterior. Regular cleaning helps maintain a bright, welcoming appearance and prevents the buildup of unsightly grime.
Long-Term Protection
In addition to cleaning, our soft washing solutions also kill bacteria, mold, and algae, reducing the chances of future buildup. This means your storefront will stay cleaner for longer, providing more value for your investment.
Improved Customer Experience
A clean, well-maintained storefront makes a positive first impression on customers. It shows that you care about the appearance of your business and fosters trust and professionalism, which can encourage more foot traffic and potential sales.
Professional Cleaning for Office Buildings: A Clean Workspace for a Productive Environment
A clean office building is essential not only for the health and well-being of your employees but also for presenting a professional image to clients and visitors. At Wild West Pressure Washing, we specialize in professional cleaning for office buildings, providing comprehensive cleaning solutions for all exterior surfaces of your property.
Why Regular Office Building Cleaning Matters:
Maintains a Professional Image
The exterior of your office building is the first thing clients and visitors see. A dirty, poorly maintained building can give the wrong impression and reflect poorly on your business. Regular professional cleaning ensures your office remains polished and professional.
