ok. worst interview.
i was refused for a dev position because i couldnt answer a non techincal question they had for me.

i mentioned in my resume that i previously worked on sms ( when it was still a thing ). the interviewer asked me how sms can help their company. i couldnt get around to a specific answer. i mean, come on! isnt it your job to think about the application in your own company?

Harsh. I think you've missed the point of the question. Very few interview questions which are as open-ended as that are looking for a specific answer.

The company was trying to discover some things: 1) Can think beyond a specific task? 2) Do you understand the technologies you're talking about and when and where they might be used? 3) How do you cope when you come up against something and you don't know the answer. Etc.

I'd be surprised if you were turned down specifically because you didn't have an answer to this question.

i had an answer. just not the one they were looking for

@noisyass2 That's not what you said in your OP.

"It can't. I also worked as a waiter when I was 16. A dishwasher can't help you either"

@samk sorry, not my first language.

i couldnt answer (ryt), i couldnt get my head to a specific answer, doesn't mean i didn't give one.

where's that edit button.
