How do you handle a support request from the CEO whose email is not functioning when you are already entrenched in another support issue that affects the whole company?

Did you get the offer? on which date did you attend the interview?
↳
Yes, I received an offer.
↳
and when did they give you the offer?
The questions asked were in regards to the position and as to my experience and qualifications. They were very happy with my answers and wanted me to meet another individual who also interview me and ask me the same questions. Which were again answered with satisfaction by the interviewer.

Not a very professional outfit. Provided no follow ups at all. Then despite having the right qualification, rejected my application because I was according to the Hiring team "Over qualified" for the job.

PST stands for Pacific Standard Time.. An email sent from someone in the PST time zone will have the time zone listed as "-0800" in the headers of the email. (However, "-0800" does not have to be in PST, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset). Less
How many hoops can we get unemployed people to jump through before they realize this is a waste of time?

I have an interview on the 27th. I abhor "dog and pony" shows myself, being a former Navy veteran from an aircraft carrier, I have seen too many. However there is a purpose behind it. Companies have to find potential employees who have a solid ethics background and the skill set for the job. Tests like these are there to weed out those who don't have the "mental agility" to handle a think quick, technical position.
