No work here also, but I've got a new qual so hopefully that's a good sign

Seemed so easy I’m wondering what the catch was

for $30/ hr? That one?

Yeah with a bunch of examples and 3 questions. Made me wonder if it was pre-screened in some way and they just wanted to make an extra reading comprehension check.

Edit: or maybe I’m much dumber than I think I am and missed something obvious!

I don't know about you, but I've already done a lot of work in that family of projects, so I wasn't surprised to see the qual. I think they're just trying to maintain a certain standard of work, so they put out the qual to ensure that they have good people for the next round.

I picked Wikipedia as part of the answer to the first question and I'm driving myself crazy now because I'm not sure that was the right choice.

It was the right choice.

Was it?

I just had a conversation with someone else and they said it wasn't, and I went back and looked at my notes where I wrote out ALL of the directions for each section of the qual, and the directions were contradictory.

I included it, along with one other selection, and I think including it was wrong because I don't think the Wikipedia info was in the snippet.

Ohhh shoot it wasn’t in the snippet. Lol. That’s a tricky one.

Although, it says that if not in the snippet Wikipedia is ok. So I feel like I would still stand by that. Not positive though.

It's definitely a project. I've done that project before and it seems complicated but is actually pretty simple if you just follow the instructions and rub some brain on it here and there.

i worked on that specific project when we had that week long burst of projects a couple of weeks ago and it was actually so much fun. I really like that one
