Have done similar (though not in an interview). Usually an alcohol-based cleaning fluid can get that off with minimal effort. Why they had a permanent marker

Why they had a permanent marker next to a whiteboard is another question - incompetence, or to stop you rubbing anything out?
- dasboth 12y ago"incompetence, or to stop you rubbing anything out" Even worse is if it was some sort of test to see if he'd check before starting to write...
- nailer 12y agoAlso: you can go over permanent marker with whiteboard marker and rub it off.
- marcosdumay 12y agoIt looks like everybody keeps a permanent marker next to their whiteboard. I have no idea why, but I make sure to ask the responsible person every time I see one. (I never got the same answer twice, I once got one that was honest.) If richev really lost the job because of the marker, he safely got out of a place where people lose jobs because of powerfull people's (the interviewer) fault. Good for him.
- logfromblammo 12y agoThe permanent markers are there to mark the writable disc media. But everywhere I have worked, the dry erase markers are kept near the whiteboards, and the permanent markers are kept next to the stack of blank discs, or near the disc-writer drives. Keeping them both in the same place is a Murphy's Law infraction.
