You’ve probably applied for a developer job you really wanted but didn’t get. More often than not, the interview is what decides the hire. This talk equips you for challenging interviews and takes you to the other side of the table. We’ll look at what technical skills, character traits, values, and cultural aspects interviewers pay attention to — and what questions they ask to assess them. We’ll also cover the tools interviewers use. All of this is backed by entertaining anecdotes from real interview experiences. The talk is aimed at leaders who want to sharpen their interviewing skills and developers who want to stand out in their next interview.
