Process
Got a phone screen after I left my resume at a career fair. The phonescreen questions were not hard, but I made a couple of mistakes (missed some edge cases) while coding the solutions. I fixed them later, but the interviewer might not have liked that... I did answer all the questions the interviewer asked, though.
