Process

I submitted my resume at a career fair at my school and received a tech assessment on the spot. A recruiter emailed me about a week later to schedule a phone interview. The interview consisted of both discussion about my previous projects as well as a couple of technical questions. Nothing too unexpected, and the interviewer seemed genuinely interested in my previous work and my possible contributions to Yahoo.

I received a call a couple of days later about an offer. The recruiter and interviewer were both courteous and intelligent. It was a very difficult decision to decline the offer, given the excellent project assignment and compensation. Overall, it was a very smooth interview process.
