The instructions I was given acknowledge this and say to “pretend they exist”. The first thing you’ll notice is the file requires two outside files, lib/db.php and lib/session.php, neither of which are provided.

'From: also update the activity feed, so users can see what others are doing on the site. If (strpos($_SERVER, 'localhost') != false) is now following you.", get user's avatar from 3rd-party avatar service, based on which environment we're running in If you know a little PHP read on, otherwise skip ahead to Step 3…Įxample.php: first_name. They sent me a dummy php file which I would review, comment the issues, and return back to them.

Ambassador, which is all I really cared about.įinally, I was introduced (by email) to their CTO, who sent me the coding test, which turned out to be a “mock code review”. That was kind of annoying - the newsletter came faster than the replies from Mr. I did, however, notice their weekly email newsletter started showing up in my inbox only 2 days after I applied. It’s the first job I’ve ever applied to that, apparently, has a 100% email interview process (although they never explained that up front, it just worked out the way in the end). Honestly probably one of the best responses I’ve received for these questionsĪt no point in the entire process did I ever actually talk to anyone - over the phone, Skype, or otherwise. Thanks for getting back to me! Very very impressive work! Kudos on that Ambassador would respond with glowing praise: After each of my replies, a day or two later (they were obviously in no hurry) Mr. Ambassador, where he would ask interview-type questions and each time I replied in kind. It turned into a series of emails back and forth between me and Mr. I was of the impression he hadn’t actually read my application, but they probably get tons of ’em anyway, so who can blame them. If you have a quick second, what web/mobile technology are you working with that interest you the most right now? Thanks again for signing up, I’m looking forward to chatting more. The guy introduced himself as an “Ambassador from X-Team”, thanked me for my application, then asked: I got an automated acknowledgement email immediately, and a real human email about an hour later. Step 1 – Interview via two weeks of emails back and forth It sounded like a good fit, so I applied, including a brief message why I thought I’d be a good fit. I found X Team through this job posting on Authentic Jobs. No, I’d never heard of them before either. Continuing on the theme of how job hunting sucks, here’s another example of exactly what I’m talking about: X-Team International.
