Applied online at JapanDev. Received a confirmation email asking if I was still interested and when I replied I got a message back about the skills evaluation. I was doing some freelance work that I had to finish first and ended 2 days before the deadline to do that eval. I reviewed my QA practices and got ready to do the eval. Immediately it felt like the questions were for a different job. In my resume cover letter I spoke at length about the tedium of manual QA and how I felt suited to do it and had been doing it for 5 years when most engineers hate it because automated is faster. (I have never been a strong coder, or relied on it much other than for some database stuff. This is why I applied for the MANUAL position. Every single question was about coding, in Python, Java, and Javascript / Json, and I did not put Java on my resume because I've never worked with it. They also asked me questions about specific tools that I would not consider industry standards because I had never even heard of them before (cucumber and selenium. I see reviews here saying the tech evals were easy and all I can think is that it's from people who do far more complex work than simple QA stuff. I've been doing QA for years and I think I got maybe 50% on the answers. This test had nothing to do with the job listing on Japan dev and I'm sure I'm going to be rejected without so much as a single actual interview, based on this arbitrary crap. I was evaluated on a position I didn't apply for.
