Above all, if you are declined, call back and ask for a reason. You deserve a proper reason, not just a "lol no sorry man". If you don't get one, state that you are unhappy with it and that it seems unprofessional to decline applicants with seemingly no reason or rhyme. If you get declined because of the way you answered the change question, be glad that you will not be working for a nitpicking micromanaging bastard as you quite clearly answered it very well.
(If you get a proper reason, don't debate it / scream uncontrollably / axe the interviewers car).

Well you got through it and thats the important thing. It sounded like an interview situation where they were trying to stress you and if you managed to stay fairly cool you might do better than you think.
If the worst happens and you don't get it, maybe we can all chip in and buy you a GOG. Of course if you DO get it you have to buy all of us a GOG

Navagon: If you kept your cool as best you could through the interview and took the time to consider their questions and answer them properly, then that will probably count for a lot more than the actual answers you gave as they'd likely correct you on any policies they have, such as the incorrect change scenario.

True. Quite possibly they grilled you cause they liked you. :)

I was thinking of holding a contest of some sort to celebrate once I got the first paycheck. I just don't have any ideas on what sort of contest to have. Got any ideas?

TheJoe: This is amazing news, Judas. Best of luck - someday you will own an entire empire. Guild style!!! Just have a son and don't die until he's 12, OK?

But...what if I have a daughter or TWO entire sons??? :D

Since so many polish people come to Norway looking for work, it's time you paid a little back. Therefore, I suggest giving out games to every Norwegian forum member of at least a certain reputation.

How many Norwegians do we have here of a certain reputation? :D

That's no good. The daughter would effectively surrender control of your empire to her domineering power-hungry husband and the rivalry between your sons would see your empire crumble as their feud continues.

Many Polish also, infamously poured into the UK. I laughed when over half of them returned home, completely disillusioned with the UK. Safe in the knowledge that they could do far better for themselves in Poland. Sums up the state the UK's in nicely, that.

Marry a younger, much richer Baroness. Enough money to keep you going when she dies, but young enough to push out 100 kids.

Don't forget about us danes in this, I hope you won't work as cheap as them JudasIscariot, cause then I would hate winning a game from you!
Job interviews almost always tend to be shitty, except if you happen to be the luckiest bastard on Earth. Congratulations for having the patience to go through with an hour-long one, and I hope you get the job.
And even if you don't, screw them, you get the experience of the interview. Take solace in the fact that things are almost never as shitty as they seem, they're far more shitty.

Don't forget all the Polish people who come to Romania looking for work, so I'd say gifting some games to certain Romanian forum members with a reputation of in between 22 and 24 would pretty much even the deal.

Forget that, she'll be named Lucrezia and poison her dear old daddy and any husband Daddy tries to saddle her with to get her own mitts on the money. ;)
That's why you kill the daughter(s) and hide the money in any available wine cellars :D

Ah, the femme fatales. You've got to watch out for those.

Well there's your hook, have a "what sort of contest should I hold" contest. You know, just in case you need to hold a contest in future.
When I was up for that sweet cancer centre IT job (that apparently went to a subcontractor), I was planning to put up a GOG or 3 myself, I was thinking of giving people 1 week and rewarding whoever made me laugh the most

Think yourself lucky that you didn't end up having 1.3 sons?
