This was a short-term, one-task contract. Once they saw I had the experience, they did not bother testing me to the nth degree.

I found the job on a job board, applied online, and received a call from the agency. From there, I had the usual phone interview with the manager, followed by a later call with the technical lead.

I got the contract sight unseen, and at the end, my manager said he was happy.

Nothing difficult; it was a high-level discussion of my earlier projects. The thing is, I had worked at some pretty snazzy places, so I had had some interesting experience to bring to the table.
