Weasels ripped my flesh
Update: Ok, so they've got back to me:
"We would like to invite you in for a second round of interviews. Will you be available to come in on Friday at 1pm?
In the first round you did quite well on the implementation side but we were hoping for a stronger result on the maths/problem solving side. Friday's interviews will put more focus on maths/problem solving."
Also, I got the following random email from Google:
Hi (Dr. Cok),
Your name came highly recommended to us to contact for Engineering opportunities, so we would like to invite you to submit your resume and transcripts or course list for consideration. We're looking for exceptional students with strong programming skills, excellent algorithmic and analytical skills and a strong aptitude for building high-performance, scalable computer systems. We offer a very challenging technical environment in a collegial atmosphere. More details about working at Google can be found at http://www.google.com/jobs/great-people-needed.html.
We are actively hiring for our Sydney R&D office, so look forward to hearing from you soon!
Hmmm.... Having gmail account, personalized google search, a google blog, etc, makes one worry about privacy, eh.
Still haven't heard back from Numbnuts inc. about the job interview, which is frustrating. Some friend of a friend of B-roq's, whom I met on Saturday night, works for HR at another big investment bank, so I sent her my CV on Monday. She's passed it on, and we'll see where that leads. It looks like I'm going to have to do some temporary work as a Walker and Turner (Dad joke: (requires Italian accent for maximum groan-inducing hilarity) walk around the corner and turn around the corner).
pop77 has a new mix, new site layout, and the promise of resuming weekly mixes.
Went out on Saturday night with B-roq. Predictably, we ended up at a massive gay club mid morning the following day. There were so many people, and they were all looking great. As things normally get exponentially seedier after daybreak in Sydney, it was strange.

what's a man's life worth?
25 cents, apparently.
"weasels ripped my flesh" indeed!!! And we think that we are only now running out of thriller topics.
Good luck with job stuff. I am going to have to start thinking seriously about that aspect of my existence again soon. Well, not too seriously I hope.
that google point is exactly what I thought when you told me last night... makes you think...
Good luck Matty - I have a serious limp!
Well done on the second interview champ. I'm sure they must simply have been temporarily stunned by your shinny new suit to think you need a stronger maths performance. Perhaps wear a wifebeater this time to a) avoid possible fashion distractions and b) to intimidate them with your lumberjack arms. Either way, a win-win situation.
In other news, I heard from my nerdy geek circle, that google actually OWN all the information stored on gmail accounts.
Good luck tomorrow, dock.
You heard it on Cok's blog before the SMH even got a wiff:
