A mistake I've been making in my interview process
I'm writing this so that others don't make the mistake I made and to hold myself accountable.
Since I'm a software engineer, I often get asked about certain process that were implemented where I've worked in the past. I've often found myself floundering because in the moment nerves would kick in and I would forget crucial information such as the following:
- Process, from product grooming and development processes
- Tools that were used, this refers to any tech related tools or tooling.
- Not being aware of industry jargon (I'm bad at jargon and I think this cost me in an interview I had)
Steps I'm doing to fix it
- Literally write out word for word everything in the tech stack I worked on.
- Write out exactly how project roadmapping and grooming works
- Write down the name of each tool and what it was used for (for example SNYK for npm package security, Optimizely for A/B testing, Opsgenie for monitoring, etc)
- Write down how system design and architecture was done
This is a work in progress. I'm also writing out common questions and answers (IE tell me about a project failure you had)
