How did you do the King Diamond shriek on "Linoleum Knife?" Is it something you just know how to do, or did you have to train yourself? And if it's the latter, how?

An increasing number of companies have completely scrapped tech tasks too

That's encouraging to hear, at least. Admittedly, it's been a while since I've job hunted in earnest, so it's good to hear that expectations have shifted a bit.

Max 2 hours or you see an increase in candidates unwilling to complete the task

Unfortunately, I think the numbers are usually so skewed in favor of the companies that they don't really care.

Let's say they get 500 resumes for a single job posting. Even assuming for argument's sake that 90% of those resumes are mediocre at best, as companies sometimes claim, that's still 50 good candidates. If you ask those 50 to do an elaborate dancing-monkey act, even if 80% of them tell you to go pound sand, you still have 10 good candidates available. Employers are sitting in the catbird seat, and they know it, so they don't have any incentive to change their behavior.

Why do you think that axe throwing seems to be gaining so much popularity among the hipster crowd?
