Letting it all go. I know enough. I want enough. I am enough.
Update:
ack! He asked me 4 questions I had no idea what the answer was. That did not feel very good. But I liked him. Hope the other answers were enough. But I might be over my head there. Not sure. Holy crap. I only 15 minutes for the test. While I do know a lot, I’m not convinced I’m the person for the job. YET.
Yeah. They’d probably do best not to hire me, I think I’d be in over my head at this point. But it was cool to talk with him, to make it this far, and now I know what I really have to focus on to get this job the next time it comes up. But you never know. Those questions might have been their total wish list. But I bet they get applicants who do know the answers. 😉

You never know, sometimes they just ask questions to see how you’ll deal with them, and the pressure.
I have a friend who’s a manage at smallflacid and they said they do this often in the interview process. They also want to see if you’ll try to trouble shoot with the knowledge you do have, bluster through and make something up, or own up straight out that you don’t know.
Sometimes owning up to not knowing everything _is_ the right answer.
I owned straight up that I didn’t know. I always do. Hated it but there was no way I could B.S. it. But I do know enough from his questions to know that he should be able to find at least 1 or 2 who can answer them and do the code.
Even so, I’ve left room for maybe. He very well might call me to come in. I’ve seen their website and I don’t think they needed to ask the questions that they did ask but I was actually a little embarrassed that I wasn’t able to answer off the top of my head. I could have Googled it, it was a phone interview but it didn’t feel honest.
We’ll see. I’m surprisingly okay either way. I feel quite fine actually. Which is maybe what I really needed to know. I sure as hell wouldn’t turn it down. If they think I can, then I’ll take it. You bet.
