A guy from the company e-mailed me and we set up a short phone interview. He was nice, and he told me a lot about the project I might be working with him on if I decided to join. Then, he wanted to ask me a few (Java-related) questions to make sure I was technically sound: - What is encapsulation? - What's the difference between a HashSet and HashMap? Possibly a few more, but all I remember happening next was he found out I was a first-year student still (he said he wanted a third or fourth year on the phone, but that wasn't apparent when I was applying, and I guess I had a pretty good resume), and we realized we had wasted about half an hour talking to each other.
