RE: Strange Interview Practices?

[kcronin -at- daleen -dot- com]

Iggy says "If something happens that I don't like, I
show them that "Homey don't play dat". I tell them
what I would be willing to do. If they accept, good.
If they decline, it's their loss."



Uh... well... if that works for YOU, great. 

_I_ wouldn't hire somebody with that attitude.

There's jumping through hoops, and there's being flexible and cooperative.
I'm not sure what areas of tech writing you've worked in, but in software
houses, change is the rule. Which means ADAPTING when faced with the
unexpected. Simply facing each new change with a snappy "Homey don't play
dat" is NOT a constructive approach, IMO.

And I'm not offended by a writing test. Write something about a specific
topic within a specified time range? That's not just a test, it's a
microcosm of the job itself. No problem; that's what I DO. But that's
another rant...

I'd like you to consider the idea that it's not all about each job being
exactly what WE want it to be. That's why they give us MONEY to do this
stuff.
