I was emailed by a Google recruiter to assess my compatibility for a position in Software Engineering.

The recruiter sent a list of questions via email. Most of these questions were boilerplate, and some could have been readily answered with a cursory glance at my resume (which they already had).

The better questions were of a "tell me about a time you..." format.

I responded to the questions by email and received a canned "thanks" response, but heard nothing more and did not pursue it.

Are there any particular projects or areas that you would enjoy working on at Google?

What percentage of the time are you coding, and in what language?
