Interviewing Desperation

The STEM Career fair is the speed dating contest for tech companies to meet budding graduates. Thanks to supply and demand, future grads and internship seekers find themselves being fought over and, depending on the skill of the recruiter, fantasizing of future careers at the blessed company. Occasionally a desperate recruiter scares off potentials. Almost like the desperate girl who won't leave you alone, the one that you would probably be interested in if she wasn't forcing her presence on you like a nail into wood. A company this year (who shall not be named) was nigh unto coercing immediate interviews from any possible qualifying programmer. Let's just say that they have fallen into last place on my list, but hey - thanks for the practice.

  1. That desperate for programmers, huh? Was it like a small startup company?
