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!

The tech industry, historically, has always been a good career move, and coming from another career brings a lot of additional value to companies. You will need to demonstrate your skill, and it may be harder that usual to get that first job in tech, but it IS possible.

We had a great question from Twitch chat tonight asking which skills or technologies a student should be learning to feel prepared to apply for jobs. While there are certainly common tools like Git that will be helpful, it's also important to just GO APPLY FOR THAT JOB. If you wait until you "feel" ready, you'll never be ready. Don't follow advice you read online about "you must know these 1,000,000 things or you're not a developer."

A question from Twitch chat about whether I recommend changing jobs in today's economy (in June/July/August 2022, it's a bad economy!)

There are lots of paths in the tech industry and a Twitch user asked how to change to other kinds of roles from their current IT Desktop Support. It comes down to showing your value to a company, but also building up additional skills to combine with your current skillset to provide even more value.

An anonymous question from our Discord community asked how to come up with a catchy "tell me about yourself" answer when they were still a student. This question should summarize the value you bring to the company as an employee, and even students have skills and background that are helpful to a company, even if it's just a fresh perspective.

A student dropped by Twitch asking how to start preparing for job interviews while they still have 3 semesters left in school. I talked about how to avoid advice telling you to only grind on leetcode -- yes, that's important but there's SO much more to preparation.

My advice about how to research companies when you're looking for a safe, stable job when the economy is bad. Right now in July 2022 the economy is not great, tech companies are on hiring freezes or doing layoffs. How do you find companies who are going to make it through this time?

A Twitch chat question was asking questions about how to find recent interview prepmaterial. I gave some thoughts and then waited for some follow-up while discussing a possible summer vacation, then I got back on the topic. :)

A fantastic question from Twitch chat today about how to juggle ALLLLL of the things that a candidate is expected to prepare for interviewing: studying algorithms, data structures, building projects, researching companies, preparing customized resumes and cover letters. How in the world do you do ALL of that?
