Meanwhile, I do terribly in technical interviews, and I've failed at pretty much all of them. Then in the jobs I've successfully gotten, I always get surprised feedback of how much stronger an employee I turn out to be than was expected based on my interview. Technical interviews that become a game pass on a lot of potentially strong employees.
- khedoros1 10y agoThis is me, too. People react with astonishment when I dive into a new technology, pick it up quickly, and become productive. Interviews are hell, though (and worse than they used to be). I can't sleep the night before a big one, and I tend to be nauseous and jittery during the interview. That doesn't come across well at all.
