Summary
 Welcome to the podcast for techintervide.guide. I‘ve been in the tech industry for over 25 years and have spent more than a decade in management and leadership roles involved in the interview process at many organizations. I‘ve helped people get jobs at all kinds of companies, from small startups to FAANG organizations.

I live stream career coaching and interview preparation advice for people in the tech industry who are looking for their first, or next, technical job . This podcast is made up of Q&A / AMA sessions that I host a few times each month. I talk about behavioral questions, technical concepts, industry trends in interviewing, and what kinds of things are important when answering questions.

You can check out https://techinterview.guide/streaming for more information about live streaming events coming up. You‘re welcome to contact me through the web site or LinkedIn if you have a question you would like answered, or -- better yet -- drop by the live stream on Twitch to ask in real-time. I‘m always open to feedback, and look forward to helping you!Copyright 2021 - 2026, All rights reserved. Career Success Economics Personal Development

  • Do I tell recruiters that I’m waiting to hear back from other companies?

    Do I tell recruiters that I’m waiting to hear back from other companies?
    9 Nov 2022
    An anonymous question came in asking whether the person should tell other recruiters that they're waiting for responses from other companies. I like transparency in communication, but how much you share is a personal preference. I was always willing to be open with recruiters as a show of goodwill whenever I had other interviews, offers, etc, to help coordinate things. You always want companies to think that they are your number one choice. --

  • I graduated from a bootcamp a year ago and can’t find a job. What am I doing wrong?

    I graduated from a bootcamp a year ago and can’t find a job. What am I doing wrong?
    7 Nov 2022
    An anonymous question came in Twitch Chat outlining a long list of programming languages and technologies they learned at a code school / bootcamp, and have not been able to find a job in the year since they graduated. I asked for more context in chat, and offered some general advice. I also asked that they contact me offline (we later connected on LinkedIn) to see if I can help them narrow down where they're having trouble. --

    I cancelled an interview and the recruiter sent me a rude response. Should I do anything?
    5 Nov 2022
    A question that I was requested to answer on Quora mentioned that they cancelled an interview and got a very rude response from the recruiter. This is highly unprofesional of them, and I suggest giving the company some feedback. Here are some ideas how to approach this. --
