Another interview rant. Got one tomorrow at 9.15am and part of it is supposed to be completing an exercise for presentation which they would send "24-48 hours" before and it has still not arrived. Was hoping they might go 48 business hours before and send it on Friday so I'd have some time in the weekend but sadly no. Assuming it comes sometime today I'm not going to be able to work on it until about 7pm tonight when I get home. I get that they want to see how well a person can work with a tight deadline, but the interview is stressful enough so it does seem a bit tough considering an applicant likely has a current job so is not able to do anything on it during the day before.

Had another one with a similar exercise last Friday and though they said the same 24-48 hours they actually sent it on Tuesday so I had a reasonable amount of time to work on it and practice it enough to not have to read too much of it out.
