- benhoyt 17y agoFair question. Develop web apps, really. But I'm pretty open, and plan to leave my "what I want to do for you" for the cover letter when applying for a specific job.
- fretlessjazz 17y agoCool. I can't speak for their current interview process, but I went through the phone screen mechanism a few years back. My problem was that I wasn't sufficiently focused in one area; I tried to market myself as both a Systems Engineer and a Software Developer (which is common for start-up-prone types such as myself). My biggest take-away from the interview process was that that was a bad idea. I suggest that you focus on a particular area; web apps alone is still possibly not specific enough. They'll perhaps want to know what specific technologies or facets of modern web apps you are into and proficient in. Of course, that was then and this is now. Some other HNers probably have better advice:)
