Since this question is specifically about in-person interviews, I wonder if you could work on your attention to detail regarding language skills. For example, in this very question you wrote "After going to on campus interviews with both companies but only to here the word you are not qualified", which contains multiple mistakes (the punctuation is incorrect and "here" should be "hear").
- jonathankoren 10y agoI really dont think that theyre punkuation or spelling is the the issue. Thesare are really common misakes. Typing is a different noisy channel than speaking.
- Ologn 10y agoI think it could be an issue. Dozens/hundreds/thousands of people interview at Google. If I was interviewing for a programming position, and they were misspelling words in the e-mails and mangling their English, and English language communication was important in the job (as it has been for every job I've had), that would be a red flag. With so many others of a probably equivalent competence interviewing, it wouldn't take many red flags for them to be passed on for an offer.
- jonathankoren 10y agoYeah but it was a onsite interview. If typing was going to be an issue, it would have already come up.
- Theodores 10y agoTotally true. Spelling is about respect for the reader, it is not about using fancy words or merely conveying a message or being brainy. Some people just do not like lousy spelling without having a deep reason for why, however, spelling says a lot about ones attitude towards others.
