    Last year: watched this video to prepare for interviews.
    Now: watching this video to learn how to conduct interviews.
    That's how useful this video is

    As someone who's both conducted and been apart of hundreds of tech interviews, this is probably the best video resource explaining how behavioral interviews work (and should work) and expectations.

    One thing about reverse engineering questions -- I think calling it that is a bit of a misnomer.
    This whole guide IS about reverse engineering the questions.
    Reverse engineering the questions is essentially knowing that the questions are looking for signal on communication, collaboration, your passions and verifying your history. With that knowledge, I've reverse engineered the questions to answer them with this framework in mind and making sure my answer showcases all those things.
    What you actually mean is that you shouldn't lie and think that the questions are trying to trick or mislead you in a way. You shouldn't take massive credit for things or not be self critical. However, I think it's okay to embellish a few details (there is a limit though), because the interviewer obviously cannot verify this.

    - *Be genuine*
    - Culture fit
    - Communication expressing idea
    - Collaboration - way to coordinate with people. best way keep you point always last.
    - Don't blame take responsibility
    - Is it positive contributor?
    - Reverse engineering dont logically tuned a answer be genuine
    - Sometime mixed answer good + bad thing.
    - Project is team work may be you are worked big chunk but don't forget give credits to the team
    - Resume should tell own story progression of jobs.
    - Remove I word and add Me and Team
    - Passion long:- running enthuse also applicable where you work
    - Critical points below
    - Be genuine
    - Thing crucially about you Career and company you trying to work and what you want next in you career.
    - Own you strength and weakness.
    - End asking Question.

    This is the best video I have watched on behavioral interviews after having watched about 10 hours of material. The rationale of the advice and the friendly tone is just what makes it awesome. He is approaching the audience as a friend and a mentor rather that a marketer hungry for attracting ridiculous number of viewers.
    Thank you so much! This 1 hour was well worth it!

    Thank you! After years of teaching myself and experiencing a lot of rejection in the last 8 months, I've finally got a tech job without any commercial experience and started a new career path that I've wanted for a long time. Your realistic approach to interviews certainly helped me get there. Kudos!

I just received two offers today and would not have gotten through them without your advice. Just having that sincere, honest, humble and genuine passion for learning kind of attitude will go a long ways :D

  • @TheRover2010

    Thanks for the video, it is excellent.
    As someone who is from a different culture and came to a different country, I had to play by the rules described in the local HR articles. For example, they mention that saying "I want this job because it pays well" is not perceived well in the US companies. So I had to come up with some bullshit which was perceived well.
    It did help me to get high paying jobs in well known companies. Sometimes I got myself into a situation when I hated my job. But generally, I'm pretty good at doing my job and have never been fired (that just means I've never got impacted by a major layoff and never badly screw up anything personally). So for me it is just a matter of getting through the interview playing by the rules of not well known me culture.
    I am trying to be brutally honest on my interviews now, it is not an easy thing to do after all :) Most of the time I hear back - thank you for your straight talk, but thank you. I do hope it will finally get me into the right place in my career though.

  • @AussieAmigan
    @AussieAmigan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I agreed with everything until right at the end. Asking what programming language you're working in is probably THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION if you don't know. Heck, it can shape your entire career's prospects. Every employer wants one year longer experience than the actual life of the technology. If you take your time jumping on the latest thing you're behind forever. And it's not just any latest thing, but you have to discern its potential longevity also. Of course any developer worth their salt can adapt to any language or tech, but a lot, indeed most companies, are hiring for direct experience and usually its right there in the job listing. That the company hasn't settled on a common tech, or have their own home grown language is a sure fire way of throwing your coding career away. Hard to imagine a world where this is not the case. What a lovely place that would be. Is this guy so senior, or in management, it no longer matters? My 25 years of dev experience disagrees.

    @kleeenco 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Lots of good advice here and really helpful video. Please be mindful of your ageism though. You repeatedly mention people from new grad to 4 years and talk about your concern they "topped out" at some timeframe. That's your own bias. Someone's career trajectory is their own. I'd suggest you watch yourself talk about it. That said, overall a very good video.

    • @jackson-gabbard
      @jackson-gabbard  8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I agree with you that I'm bringing my own biases to these videos. No question about that. It's worth pointing out though that that the 4 year marker isn't some number I'm carrying around in my bias set out of ageism. It's actually based on the expected trajectory of a top-tier technical person. Companies like Google, Facebook, et al. expect for their engineers to advance steadily from graduation to, roughly, a first-level tech lead. The 4 year mark is roughly the amount of time top-tier companies expect good people to make it from n00bie to tech lead (once that person is in a healthy, growth-enabling environment).
      Importantly, once a person is at that first "senior" level, most companies are fine with them topping out. Once they've reached that level, there's no expectation of them ever advancing again. That's not ageism though. It's actually based on human potential. It's not expectable that most people will ever get beyond that level because the amount of effort, brains, emotional maturity, and dexterity required to move beyond that point is literally beyond the capability of the majority of humans regardless of age. Also because once you're at that level, you're doing kick ass work that the company would happily pay you for in perpetuity. Knowing this, good companies require people to continually improve until they hit the ceiling for the average very smart, very motivated engineer.
      I strongly agree with you that your career trajectory is your own. In fact, many people do progress later in their careers. Often deep expertise, maturity, patience, and emotional stability (which all come with age) enable people with 4+ years of experience to do better, large-scale work than the average superstar junior engineer is capable of. Most of the people I know who make it to the very advanced levels do so well passed the 4 year mark in their careers.
