How
Would You Move Mount Fuji?
By William Poundstone - ISBN: 0316778494
High-tech companies are now following the lead of Microsoft® in asking
seemingly nonsensical, technical interview questions, designed to challenge
the creative thinking processes of interviewees. To write this book, Poundstone
did some "insider" interviewing of his own to reveal the riddles,
puzzles and brainteasers Microsoft and other corporations now ask, such as:
Why are manhole covers round? How do they make M&Ms? What does the ice
in a hockey rink weigh? Better yet, Poundstone suggests valid ways of answering.
Even better, reader reviews give this book high marks. If you're facing grueling
technical interviews, get this book!
