I think this is very real. So how do you correct this problem and sell the perception that you are able to do well?
Interview prep, like Pramp? I did get some feedback from TripleByte at least.
- robalfonso 9y agoWithout knowing you - it's hard to say. Ultimately having confidence and being able to demonstrate how your history makes you a good fit is going to combat that perception. When you tell people about your work history - does it sound mostly like the same kind of problems/tasks? How can you show you did more than that? Any outside projects you have that show diversity in experience? Regarding your statement about Pramp - are you failing on the coding part of interviews? Not to get into the validity of white board exercises as a method for filtering candidates - I personally don't think putting people on the spot is a skill set that you actually need to do the work. Is it possible you are stuck in a rut due to troublesome interviews? As I said above lack of confidence to sell yourself can be sabotaging you.
