I’m looking for a senior engineer to work with our passionate team helping companies reduce slavery in supply chains. Check out our job posting here and let me know if we merit a chat.
So I send a cordial reply asking for a phone number and executive summary.
They wrote right back:
Thanks for reaching out to us. Before we do a phone interview I’d like to get a sense of your Ruby On Rails experience. Would you mind answering the questions in this questionnaire? Next step after we get these back is a phone interview.
Soon after, I receive a gDoc edit invite. I figure what the heck, I’ll bite…

I don’t know about you, but in all my years, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. (All it tells is if the applicant knows Google.) Anyway, I find it funny (and a little sad.)

Q: Why should you avoid fat models?
A: Because the potato chips were gone when I got there.
