Sure, I'd like to draw a vaccum cleaner, because this interview seems to suck and be unrelated to my job role. :)



"Great, that'll do nicely. Vacuum cleaners are complicated and interesting machines. What can you tell me about how a vacuum cleaner is built and how it works? Also, vacuum cleaners are pretty old tech. Is there room for further innovation in that area? If so, what angles would you explore if you worked at a vacuum cleaner company?"


This is a great way to get BS'd into thinking someone is qualified when they're not. Work sample tests are all you need.


"Awesome, then you've got nothing to worry about!"


Thanks, I can start on Monday
