Phone screen turned into technical

Applied for an analyst position and was told I was invited for a brief phone screen which turned into a full blown technical interview. Anyone else ever experience this? I know my technicals but was not at all ready for a technical interview.

Even worse - I got a coffee chat with this one lady a few summers ago when I was trying to break in. I got there early, as was proper. I saw her walk into the place with a piece of paper in her hand. I thought to myself "There's no way that's my resume..." It was.

The next 30 mins were a full blown interview. 

What a prick

Go all the way
