What if you had your lawyer & therapist w/ you in a job interview 🤔 Them: Tell me about a challenging time in yo… Lawyer, interrupting: My client pleads the 5th! Therapist: This is likely to trigger some trauma we’re still working through. Do you have another question?

For those who are unaware: Colorado passed a law requires companies to include salary ranges in job postings. Here’s an article about it google.com/amp/s/www.denv…

New rule: if a job posting says anything along the lines of “this is a remote job except that it is not eligible to be performed in Colorado”, 🚩🚩🚩 (This is not me looking for a job, I am happy where I am at. But we need to lay down some rules)

Give yourself full permission to interview your future managers back. When they ask "Do you have any questions for me," take the opportunity to expose what your next 1+ years under this person might be like. Here are 5 questions I have or wished I'd asked of my future managers:

One of the interview questions I ask "How many times have you broke production?" and I pay close attention to their answer and how it was fixed. This is the one key ingredient to a senior developer.

Someone asked me for advice on how to land an interview @GDSTeam 🎯 I think everyone should have access to these tips My opinions, not official policy 🧵

Harry Vos (@vosageroll)Thu, 06 Jan 2022 18:26 GMT

Always use free resources for your resume before you go to someone and pay for them to have it done. I promise there isn’t anything anyone can put in that resume for a crazy price that will get you hired.

What's your favorite question to ask when you finish an interview (as the interviewee)?

Dan Moore (@mooreds)Sun, 19 Dec 2021 16:32 GMT

Any interview question that relies on historical knowledge of how things were done before the current paradigm is a bad one. Just because you learned legacy thing first doesn’t make it a requirement for understanding the current functionality.

I like how we do technical interviews at @gitlab. - Merge Request upfront to review as home exercise - Go through the review & implement suggestions Gives candidates enough time to prepare without a surprise. Focus on the technical discussion. Hopefully reduces stress.

There's an even bigger issue with live coding than "just" the potential impact on diversity. If you do stressful live coding, you're excluding a massive population. "A large population of people are impacted by performance anxiety (est. 40% of all adults in the U.S. [23])."

Thread on current state of tech recruiting seen from the perspective of an experienced dev 🤓

Post details

Hi! 👋 Lots of recruiter emails & questions. Truthfully, I've been considering this decision for several weeks, and decided to use this opportunity to apply at >50< different organizations. Why? So I could see what the process is like for people these days. I've learned a lot.

Had a job interview today. Interviewer was a woman. She told me my resume was definitely not for the position I applied for and scheduled me for an interview for a more senior role. Good looking out sis!😭

It's long past time for major companies to stop requiring degrees that are expensive and correlate primarily with parental wealth rather than actual ability.

Yesterday, my son informed me that many #microsoft dev jobs don’t ask for degree… I am happy for this change and hope others follow too..

I recently passed on a job offer after 4 rounds of interviews. This company only seemed interested in grilling me on my coding ability (all 4 interviews were technical, live coding sessions) and never asked about the hundred other things I do as part of my life as a dev.

I will never understand why tech companies optimize interviews for a college grad to do better than someone with ten years of experience.

When choosing a job, the salary is important. But not the most important thing. There are other things you should consider: • autonomy • flexibility • can you contribute to open-source? • room for career progression Take them into consideration when negotiating!

The technical interview process gives a particularly large advantage to people who can afford to take the time to focus solely on preparing for an interview process that has very little to do with the nature of the work itself.

Post details

"...technical interviews currently used in hiring for many software engineering positions test whether a job candidate has performance anxiety rather than whether the candidate is competent at coding" Cross that with Stereotype Threat and auughhh 😱

I would say this matches my experience when I was job searching in London with a similar amount of development experience Understand these are the numbers you might be looking at, and don't get discouraged. It's all practice.

Post details

So my job search is over for now this is what it looks like in numbers. 60 job applications 💪 17 rejections 😭 6 applications that I dropped out of 😤 36 unknown 😑 1 signed 🥳 15+ interviews 😁 Thread 🧵⬇️

For the latest role we’re hiring for, I’m sending the interview questions to candidates ahead of time. Most roles don’t require working under pressure so why create pressure? I’d rather use our time to evaluate how folks prepare (arguably a greater skill).

Things I do as a technical interviewer: 1. State this is a conversation, not a test 2. Let the candidate look up APIs 3. Tell them when they do a great job 4. Problem solve together 5. Tell them if I learned something new from them Normalize collaborative interviews!

Just finished a technical interview... The process consisted of me implementing a new feature into one of my personal projects while the interviewer followed along I actually enjoyed this opposed to the typical technical interview question but I’m still nervous as shit 😭

Jordan (@TheJordanRules_)Thu, 03 Sep 2020 16:01 +0000

"We hire the best and the brightest engineers!" Now then, to get the job you'll be graded on a series of skills that will not be touched upon ever again for your entire tenure here; some of our interview questions technically qualify as hazing.
