PROBABLY THE SMALLEST OFFICE I'VE EVER SEEN, well frankly speaking, it's not even an office, or studio, for it to matters.. IT'S A GODDAMN SMALL HDB LIVING ROOM, but renovated so now it can house a couple of personal computers, A COUPLE, as in, between more than 1 but less than 5..
Back to matters on hand, so the guy who let me in started talking with a middle-aged lady who was sitting at the back of the room, like a boss.. Then he told me to sit on a desk with a black MacBook, while starting to print some applications form, a couple pages, for me to fill.. Well, I left most of them blank coz the Working Experiences section itself was the couple extra pages, so I only filled the 1st page which was personal info and stuffs.. Then I returned the papers and told them that I have no working experience whatsoever, and in my defense I did put it down in my resume and cover letter.. They. Looked. Confused.. Fuck.
After awhile they told me to proceed with the small test they promised earlier, how fun.. There was this pdf file with questions in it, awfully similar to how my tutors would gave out assignments back in my university days (the format, not whatever questions it contained).. So tell me, did any of you ever sit down for an exam, skim through the problems and think "Fuck, I'm dead"? That's what more or less was happening to me.. I opened the file, saw all the questions, and just like that, I gave up.. I believed the guy saw my expression, coz then he said "It's an open-book test, so you can search whatever you need on the Internet", how thoughtful of you, monkey guy..
The test was to make a touch-controlled spaceship for iOS platform in an hour, by using Xcode.. Yep, you heard it right. XCODE. OBJECTIVE-C. I couldn't even code C++ properly, what the hell was I supposed to do with Xcode.. And the questions were increasing in stupidifficulty.. First they wanted a spaceship (or a triangle), then they wanted it to face the the direction of the finger tap, then move to that direction of the finger tap, then move smoothly from current location calculating facing degree to the new one, then it can shoot, there's enemy coming randomly, well basically they were testing me to make a game..
I did try my best, you know.. I did some researches online.. I even checked the history of the browser (apparently someone other than me came earlier for the same test).. It was just downright impossible.. I didn't even manage to create the goddamn triangle, let alone the spaceship (plus points if it was shaped like one).. So after struggling for 45 minutes, I decided not to waste my (and their) time anymore, and told them I gave up, that I couldn't do anything at all.. So they asked me if I wanted to withdraw my application, and I said yes..
And then there was the walk of shame, out of the monkey studio (damn I hate them).. I immediately called my girlfriend and all my friends, telling them about my 2nd so-called interview, and get the hell out from there..
So much for the 2nd huh..
