I’m going in for my new grad software engineer interviews at the goog, and man I don’t have anything this exhaustive to talk about… (0 internships, just schoolwork)
@Japan2is4awesome, it is important to remember that the answers I give in these videos are extremely robust. This is to show viewers all the possible items to speak about in their answers. What is most important to think through is the stages of the actions we take. We almost always start by looking at data and having conversations with others. Then we almost always run some tests (not always) before getting into executing. Lastly, we will typically, launch, present, and document at the end. Think through these steps and it will help you create more robust answers. I hope this helps!
Jeff! I just accepted an offer for an Account Strategist role at Google in NYC and I have to say I watched your videos religiously to prepare. Thank you so much for putting out such incredible content, it was truly instrumental for my success.
@EthanWilson-m6z, AMAZING, CONGRATS!!!! I wish you the best of luck at Google and if you are willing, I am now asking people to give me a shout out on LinkedIn, of course only if you feel comfortable!
I was relieved just like you did when you completed your answer. Thanks Jeff. Is it required to be so exhaustive and long or should we keep it crisp and short?
@AdithyaShreshti, this is only my opinion, but I think all the advice to provide 1 minute behavioral answers is terrible. Why? Because in one minute or even two minutes, I can't really learn "how" you work and "how" you do things. If I don't understand the "how," I won't hire you. Again, some people hate this advice, but this length (try not to go over 3-4 minutes) tells me a lot about you and whether or not I should hire you.
