Process

The HR representative emailed me and asked for my availability for the week. I told her anytime this week, as I was on spring break. Then she disappeared.

Ten days later, she emailed me at 3:56 PM EST, saying I had an interview at 3:00 PM PST (6:00 PM EST) on that day. She only notified me two hours ahead of the interview.

Questions

The questions, I can hardly call them questions. They are all about concepts in Java.

Does it make sense to ask all about concepts in Java while I'm a C++ based person?
