SAMPLE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS: Questions for job applicants at tech companies:

Apple electrical engineer: "Approximately how many garbage men are there in California?"
Facebook senior software engineer: "Given an array of integers, find the maximum number that can be reached by summing the best possible consecutive subsequence of the array."
Yahoo senior product manager: "Estimate the volume of water on the Earth."
Hewlett-Packard software engineer: "Describe an orange."
Microsoft senior engineer: "Find the anagrams in a dictionary."- (c) 2010, San Jose Mercury News (San Jose, Calif.).

OK the only one I have a shot at is describing an orange. If job hunting isn't awful enough I cannot imagine being asked these questions... You can read the whole article here.

Outside the Line

I'm Rae. I make fonts and blog. I reside in a city on a lake but spend most of the time living in my head.

New fabric on Spoonflower!

I have 61 fabrics and 40 wallpaper designs on Spoonflower.com. They are a print-on-demand site. That means you can buy a yard or 10 in whatever fabric you want. Cool, huh?

If you are not a sewist you can also order many different things using this fabric. I like to switch things up seasonally and this is an easy way to do it.
