I've only ever worked as a programmer, so I'm genuinely curious - how does interviewing work for every other job that's out there?
- omar_a1 7y agoVaries by industry and sector, but there's typically no "technical". It goes: 1) Resume + cover letter + cumbersome online job app, 2) phone screen, 3) On-site, and 4) Reference check. Typically the interviews are more conversational, with an emphasis on behavioral questions, job history, and relevant skills. Academia and government have their own formats.
- fourmyle 7y agoBiggest difference is references actually matter.
- rcxdude 7y agoTrial shifts are a lot more common in service industry jobs, and I think construction as well.
