During an application process I had to go in and take a test. Apparently they gave me the management test and I actually did pretty good on it but those bastards didn't give me the management job.

I love when they want 5 years experience in a technology that's only been around 2.

The interviewer knows that everyone wants to know the salary and benefits and they'll get to that.
Ask what your typical duties might be, what training opportunities are available, room for advancement. Ask how you might be evaluated each year, travel requirements, typical overtime. There are always relevant questions, and during an interview, I WANT you to ask a couple of questions. Then....ask about salary and benefits and probationary period. If the first question you have for me relates to how many days you can be gone each year, You're probably not going to be seriously considered. Quote:

Lowe's has a policy that they have to interview a minimum of three people for an opening. So even if they've predetermined who they want for the position, they'll completely waste the time of two other people.

I know where I work the initial interview is handled by recruiting. That is where those details are discussed. Basically a short interview to catch any obvious red flags and so we don't waste either of our times if you aren't really interested. After that you get to the more behavioral/technical interview questions. Salary negotiations are handled by HR, I just decide if I think you can do the job.

In my field, I value native intelligence and work ethic, and I think that gpa is a good measure of the combination. A high GPA in a hard major really impresses me, and a low GPA will pretty much knock a person out of the running. If I don't see a GPA, I'll ask, and then I'll be skeptical about whether you're telling me the truth. If you're young and you say something like, "I don't remember exactly, but it was around a 3.0", I'm going to assume it was a 2.5. So I'd rather see a GPA on the resume. If you're 30 years out of school, other things may be more important, but I still like to see it because I think it measures a lot. Also, I don't care about grad school GPA because I don't think I've ever seen one under a 3.7. I wish the grading in grad school mattered more.
