Interview Reflection

Hearing Jeff and Ingrid talk about interviews helped change my outlook as I start my job search. As the type of person that stresses about not knowing everything it was refreshing to learn that most companies won't expect me to know everything. I will still try to prepare for the interview as much as I possibly can but I'll be able to walk in there knowing that it's okay and maybe even expected of me to say I don't know. Instead of walking into an interview thinking that I won't do good enough I'll try to think of it from the interviewer's perspective, they picked me for a reason and they're hoping that I succeed as much as I do because they're looking to fill a need.

Keep Up

Pitch

Have you ever felt behind because there are so many interesting articles to read but not enough time in the day? No need to worry, Keep Up will convert these articles into an audio version that you can listen to!

Problem

People would like to keep up with current events or anything that they're interested but they don't have the time to do so.

What brought you to Turing?

I came to Turing to pursue a career that's both challenging and rewarding. I liked the idea of being able to create something myself to improve my own life, that of those around me, and my community.

Where do you see yourself after Turing?

I know Lindsay from my time at OnDeck. We had a chance to meet for coffee on 3/3/2017 to catch up and to learn more about Ibotta. She informed me that the company is growing pretty fast right now and they plan to add 20-30 engineers before the end of the year. She said that I could put her down as a referral once I apply and she introduced me to 2 engineers at the company.

Mock Interview

What happened in the interview/practice?

I had a mock interview with Casey that consisted of 30 minutes of conceptual questions followed by a 30 minute technical challenge. I think I did alright but there are always ways to improve.

What are some best practices of technical interviews that you've discussed?

I like to think of the interviewer as someone who doesn't know anything about programming. It takes some of the pressure off and it pushes me to explain every step that I take in a detailed manner. This is useful because it gives them confidence that I can explain technical topics to people from different backgrounds and it allows them to see how well I actually understand something instead of having to make assumptions.

What did you excel at in the practice?

From the feedback I got, I did really well with communicating during the technical challenge. I was able to explain how I was going to approach the problem and I was able to explain my decisions and my thought process
