Erlang Interview Invoice

Dear On the 20th of October 2017 you applied for a senior developer position involving the following technologies: Python3, Flask, MySQL and Erlang. During the interview it became immediately obvious that you were unfamiliar with Erlang even at a junior developer level, let alone an “experienced engineer of distributed systems” as your application claimed. As a result is requesting the time consumed by your interview is remitted in full. Please see below for the costs incurred. Position Time allotted Hourly Rate Total cost Head developer 2 Hours $55 $110 Head of HR 2 Hours $50 $100 Rebekah (owner) 2 Hours $100 $200 $410 Please pay the above cost to the following account before the 20th of November 2017: If the amount due is not recived by the date specified the issue will be taken to VCAT as a matter of principle rather than cost. Thank you.

A formal invoice-style letter bills a job applicant $410 for the time spent interviewing him after he claimed to be an experienced distributed-systems engineer but could not answer basic Erlang questions. The joke is the absurdly serious demand that the candidate pay interview costs, framed like a legal notice and escalating to VCAT.
