Technical Interview Questions
So you’re nearing the end of what is probably the most stressful pop-quiz of your life: the technical interview. But you’re doing great though! You knew what a quaternion was and you totally nailed that pinned-beam question — pun intended!
And then suddenly, a lob. The interviewer leans forward and takes a short sip from his Dilbert mug. “Tell me, if the time is 3:15, what is the angle between the hands on the clock?”
Is this a joke, you think. This is an engineering position, isn’t it? Is he checking to see if I’m awake? You quickly visualize the clock.
“Zero”, you respond confidently. The interviewer grins. “Hmmm… good.” An awkward silence fills the room. Somewhere off in the distance, a dog barks.
