None
• Interviews I’ve done • Stuff I read on the
internet How I learned
Interviewer
Questions I ask and what they really mean
“Tell me about a project you worked on recently” Question
“Are you skilled at picking up new skills?” Translation
“Tell me about your background” Question
“What can you provide that my team is missing?” Translation
“Write code that does $X” Question
Translation “How do you solve problems?”
“Why do you want to be a programmer” Question
“Are you committed?” Translation
Takeaways • Be specific, tell stories • Probe for details
you can use • Talk to the rubber duck • Prove your potential
