man i really thought i had confidence lol. anyway no one is doing this bro i am glad to see you really want to help us and we appreciate that. this is really helpful
It actually makes sense that she passed you to the next level not based on experience but because you "vibe" with their culture and you also have read up on them and know about them, plus you also like their tech stack that it is the "preferred one" for you. Since she liked you and you also hit the professional connection stuff and you seem smart she will pass you. You are correct to just go for it. Keep it up dude.
Its also her job to just get people that seem to know their stuff. All their jobs are like that, which is why years of experience doesn't matter as much but does help to weed out the green horns. She asked what projects he had going on to jump on what he knew to what they're looking for. He passed from there as soon as he said react and php. The only deal breaker was going to be salary negotiation. Like she said, she needs to get like 48 people and not all of them will pass the third phase test, so she needs to keep looking. Also why she reached out to him and not the other way around.
Not even going to lie. I really appreciate you taking the time to make all this content. Really taught me a lot about not just about engineering but life as well and that's pretty big deal. You're high key like my YT mentor lol. I appreciate you man.
If I waited to have enough "required" experience before applying, I wouldn't have landed any dev job I've ever taken. My first was fresh off a 2 year IT degree. DON'T worry about meeting all the qualifications. Good Video. Mirror your interviewer is probably the best advice for job seekers.
@@rh7732 learned the full stack items like #C, MVC, and data layers on the job. Did I have some basic knowledge and relatable skills? Yes. As mentioned I just finished a 2 yr program, but I also had made some basic sites and projects in school and on my own. You have to highlight the things you’ve done and how they compliment the needs of the position. I worked construction and in warehouses before my dev career. I made it very clear I was eager to learn and have a desire for the role. Just put yourself out there and grind through the bad interviews, get feedback and adjust fire until you land that job.
Job descriptions are wish lists. No candidate will meet all of the items on the list. Apply and let the company decide if they are willing to accept the mix of strengths and gaps that you bring to the table. The worst thing that can happen is you get experience applying and/or doing initial interviews, experience which will lead to your future successful application.
My issue is never with non-technical interviews it’s always with technical interviews. I don’t like when hiring managers want candidates to code in front of them, it’s a bit too intimate and coming from a design background I think smart hiring managers know they can’t interview non CS candidates like that.
Recruiters are going to start rejecting interviewing you, when they find out you are recording these for your RU-vid channel, it is very entertaining though so I hope that doesn’t happen :)
this is actually really useful for reference. As a computer science student at a university, my non-technical interview skills are nowhere close to yours, I feel like I can learn alot from watching your videos!
Hey Josh I just wanted to say thank you for all the help you have provided me every since I found your channel. I had my first interview on Halloween as well. How Ironic =D! I used a lot of your feedback given in your resume and portfolio review videos to assist me in writing a well-developed resume and cover letter. I really appreciate all that you are doing. Keep up the great work!
@@JoshuaFluke1 Thank you. My first interview went very well and I have my second interview on Monday. I super stoked! Thanks again for all the useful information you provide. You are a wondeful mentor and teacher. I will keep you posted. - Jacob
Oh boy, a combo of waterfall, agile and scrum 😑 not a good sign lol also, agile is a set of principals that is applied to scrum, not its own stand alone “development methodology”
On the plus side they are honest. Haha I would rather know up front its not really well defined than have them tell me they do scrum and find out they don't do anything close to scrum
Correction: agile is a philosophy about how to work and scrum is a set of tools that implement the philosophy poorly. It was created by corporate managers to extract maximum work out of developers and call it "agile". Scrum is actually not agile at all: its worst offense is fixing scope and time every 2 weeks in sprints, which is waterfall in the small.
At first I heard Lehi and I thought “no way he’s in Utah” but then I heard based out of Salt Lake City 🙌🏽 that’s cool. I’m in Salt Lake too, actually I was driving to SLCC to work on some C# development while listening to this videos. I subbed a couple weeks ago and uve been giving some great content man. Real stuff I can use.💯💯 It’s appreciated .
Your story just motivated, I'm having my first front-end interview that requires 3+ years experience and I don't have, I nearly gave up coz of the number of years
Honest feedback: I don't think you did that well. You mentioned that you tried to match her energy, which is good. But I didn't actually see you match her energy at all. You gave no feedback to any of her responses and you jumped straight in with another question every time. If this were not for a technical role then you probably wouldn't have been invited to the second stage. I think your resume got you invited to the second stage, the interview was likely just a formality.
I had the experience thing happen to me alot. The resume clearly describes the periods and projects, yet after the interview they remember they want seniors
Hey Josh, I've seen many RU-vid videos and I will have to say this is easily one of my favorite channels. Keep doing what you doing man, ultimately I want to do something just like this. I'm still at an early stage of programming, maybe about a little over a year in. These videos are super motivating and I will definitely keep watching! I've been diving in on some react tutorials now. I am a self-taught programmer, I honestly can't afford bootcamp. By the way, I just had an interview with Trilogy Education and the follow-up is on Friday. Lol. It's for a teacher assistant role.
She was probably being super friendly because you were recording. Hey if you can, could you record some one that finished lambda school going part time?
I love this channel and Josh as cool as they come and I have learned so much from him. But $155k is for click bait, $58/hr was never mentioned during the interview.
The ambiguity part is, but not the unlimited overtime part. It sounds like she was explaining that the jobs are salary to *prevent* people from being forced to do more than 40 hours a week. However, if you have no life and want to make 1.5x your normal rate, you could do 60 hours a week and make absolute bank. The unlimited overtime part is a huuuge perk. Take it from someone who used to work 10 hours a day and have half of his weekends stolen from him. I was salaried at around $40k a year. Unlimited overtime would have put me somewhere around $70k.
Experience doesn't matter or the person is making a quota. I had an interview where I did not have the experience, was passed forward anyway, and interview #2 the person and I agreed I was not a good fit.
I regret that I never watch this video before i used to intern interview. 4 Months ago i get an interview opportunity at the Unicorn Startup in Indonesia. But i loss it, i think it's due lack of my performance and no prepare. Also when they call me i just waking up because i haven't sleep at night.
This was awesome! Gives me more confidence in starting to apply. At the end you said "the guy sounds pretty chill" lol I think you meant "girl" but hey it was 830am.
yoooo this man got FLIGHT as his screen saver! I use to read those at school with amulet. Kazu Kibuishi is so dope. His books need the avatar last air bender treatment.
I enjoyed her approach. She tries to break down her responses and descriptions the best she could whilst maintaining a good spirit. I get why she the 4-5 years of experience.
I'm so exhausted of those "how are you" insincere questions and that unnecessary small-talk in the beginning. I don't get it. In Poland we never do that, we get straight down to the conversation. There's no semi-polite "how are you"? Because even if you asked such question, you'd only hear that they're poor and tired. Cheers
I want to let you know, I just started watching your videos a couple days ago and just watching them boosted my confidence about my career path in accounting. I'm studying for the CPA exam and never had an accounting job because all the jobs require experience. I've been to a number of interviews and I guess I wasnt doing it right because they asked my experience level and I was honest and mentioned I didn't have any but am very fascinated in working in there field. Never got hired or I was being offered way less than my current job in security which is sad. I did accept and worked an internship for internal auditor and got paid for it. I was one of two that got hired out of fifty (according to interviewer) and we were told right in the middle of the internship that we weren't getting a full time position but this helps with our experience in a resume. It was because the company was going through a merger. Anyways, I'm motivated to pass the CPA exam and know my worth. Thank you again, love your videos and hope things work out better with your family.
Thank you for your content Josh! I just got into Lambda School, starting this Monday. Learned of them through you and the content you put on this channel. Appreciate you man!
Nick McKee set the expectation. They won’t offer more than 35ph based on his conversation with the recruiter in the first instance. It’s easier to come down than go up. Always start high. Source: I am tech recruiter.
Curious to see if you made the move to go in for the second interview and if you were received an offer. I'm a new sub so I may not have seen a video where you've done follow up videos on getting the offer.
Your content is awesome. Interesting my work is what you are doing now teaching people, resume reviews, running and developing classes, and I find it so boring and would rather just be coding. Anyway, subscribed.
Joshua, what a great interview. You already recorded so many, thanks for sharing. Did any of these interviews end up with a job proposition for you? It sounds like this interviewer (in this video) really likes your answers, I can not believe it will just stop there. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I saw some companies' websites and it's has a static home page nothing change for a while So my question is *What front end dev do for the company everyday * There's no way he changes the interface every time
Dude you live in Salt Lake City? What are some good local groups for front end developers in Salt Lake City? Let's keep in touch. Thanks for sharing! Great info by the way.
Although I keep up to date with the latest programming code I still do the majority of my contracts with antiquated coding and programming to integrate older technology with leading edge technology. Many large and old corporations have invested 100's of millions to billions in older machines and just are not willing to replace them with newer machines and technology. So I integrate the newest programs and machines with older entrenched machines. I fill a very small niche in data and computer centers for old companies still using old and antiquated machines and operating systems and coding programs. And I can command a high compensation package with my contracts. Take me or leave me. Not many can do what I do. There is a lot of reverse engineering involved in what I do and my Electronics Engineering and programming education and experience is critical to accomplish that. Take my contract or leave it.
