Please, we need also the video on the other way around: "how to interview people", i find this more stressing than to be interviewed!
Thanks for the suggestion. Please add it to the list on the suggestion site so others can vote on it as well: suggestions.iamtimcorey.com/
Would be good, but Tim’s channel is usually geared toward beginners.
Actually, Tim has already recorded such video

Your videos are always on point and come through at the perfect time in my professional life. Much respect!
I am glad it was helpful.
I did everything that you explained here during my interviews. It works. I have a great job now.
Awesome! Congratulations!
I hate to brag, but I know how to do loops in C#. Thanks for sharing!
😂 no, please brag.
Thank you Master. As always, your guidance is invaluable in our development journey
You are welcome.
Thanks so much Tim.. I’m now ready to be interviewed by you haha😅 cos clearly the others can’t interview properly
😂
Good tips . Thank you Tim
You are welcome.
Thank you so much, Tim. Perfect timing. I am going to apply for a new job as a web developer after five years of working in windows applications environment. I am excited to go to the interview. Your valuable advices are very helpful for me.
You are welcome.
Great tips , thanks
You are welcome.
Don’t a lot of companies expect you to go through a white board test? Many developers may have years of experience but are not able to succeed in a white board test.
I'm not sure if I would quantify it as "a lot", but there are companies that use whiteboards in their interviews for sure. From what I have seen, their numbers have been dwindling, but that doesn't mean they aren't still out there (and possibly in great numbers still).
If you are faced with a whiteboard test, there are a few things to consider. First, that's probably a red flag. If this is the company's interview process, that seems to indicate a poor culture. So you need to ask yourself if you even want to proceed.
In some cases, you probably do since sometimes you just need a job. Understandable. So then, I recommend you have a conversation while you do it. For example, I would say "this is where I would look up how to implement the observer pattern. I know that since I need distributed event-handling and since I want to make sure to maintain state across clients, I need to use that pattern. However, I always forget the exact syntax to do it." That allows you to talk about your code rather than writing the exact right syntax on the board. Or I would say something like "oh, it looks like I forgot the semicolon here. Fortunately, Visual Studio picks those up for me if I miss them." Basically, telling them that this is a stupid test without telling them that this is a stupid test.
@@IAmTimCorey thanks Tim, just getting your personal take on this. I also heard a great way is every time a interviewer asks a question, refer to how that question is applied in one of the personal projects that was built, then the interviewee will take control of the interview (more time talking about your project because interviewers only have a certain time slot to fill) plus it shows the experience you have since you built it yourself and it’s not a “textbook” answer.
Absolutely.
I use modified dates sometimes because of gap...😢
Yeah, I get that.
I've been interviewing candidates pretty regularly for a while now. It's always amazing to me how many people have years of experience in a technology according to their resume but can't answer even simple questions about that technology. If you've got years of SQL experience, you should be able to tell me something about about the various join types.
Yes years of hands on experience and then all of the sudden the candidate is thrust into a situation where he needs to speak like he is back in an academic setting. So you have to give them a break in that regards. Although I am certainly going to study up again as I am going to look for a 2nd part time position here soon potentially.
That's why the interview is so critical. Identifying what those years of experience actually mean is important. Is it 10 years of experience or is it 1 year of experience 10 times? The key is to remember that the interview process is stressful, which leads to people looking less capable than they are sometimes. A good evaluation should be as close to how the actual job works (not just a keyword test or trick question session).
Hi sensei
Thanks for watching.
