Post your job interview failures. I've been to 2 and I've made a fool of myself both times. I'll start:
>be a student, main in C++
>apply for .NET internship
>basically no higher knowledge of .NET, hope they'll let me learn
>spend 3h every day for a week doing algorithm related tasks from Cracking the Coding Interview
>the technical interview comes up
>only I show up out of other 3 people who applied
>bring my mom's laptop with a dual boot Debian because it's faster than the bloated Win7 it came with
>the woman overseeing the interview says I can use the internet for help
>wow is this really gonna be some babby shit
>hands me a paper with the assignments printed on it
>"blah blah make a structure for storing information about some shit"
>seems alright but I'm starting to get paranoid if it could be that simple
>"write a verification method for file input for this structure"
>i'm a bit rusty on the file io shit but I'll manage
>"write 2 tests for that method"
>"write a tdd like implementation (or whatever I can't remember) of the earlier method"
>I never used tests in C++, never needed them in student projects but I've been meaning to learn boost for a while
>I can't connect to the internet because loonix is sperging out on me and doesn't ask me for a username and password for the wifi that I've been given
>panic on top of already horrible stress
>focus on the 2 first tasks, stumbling on every little bullshit on the way
>using the CL for compiling it every 5 seconds to check if it works
>too embarassed to admit I don't know why the internet doesn't work
>I thought of restarting the laptop and booting up Windows with the code pasted on pastebin or something
>dismiss the thought, because all I've got on Windows is Qt Creator and my time's running out
>give up after over an hour
tldr: I've panicked and wasn't thinking rationally because of stress. Also it's the last time I'm using Linux on a job interview.
>>53796765
They didn't hire you because you spilled your spaghetti. Don't do that.
>>53796765
> do you know php?
> yeah sure
> you're hired
that was not hard
>>53796797
I'm actually waiting for an answer because this was just a couple of days ago. I know they won't hire me but I get those little sparks of hope every once in a while and it just makes me sink into depression like the last time I got rejected. Trying to decide if I should give up getting a job for the moment and focus on my masters or keep trying.
>>53796949
I wish things were this easy for me for once.
>>53796765
I've honestly never had a job interview that didn't result in a job.
5 out of 5 perfect score so far.
Now started my own business so if everything goes well will never have to apply for a job ever again.
>>53796765
>>I can't connect to the internet because loonix is sperging out on me and doesn't ask me for a username and password for the wifi that I've been given
>He fell for the GNU/Linux meme
>>53796765
>internship
It ain't a job if you don't get payed.
>>53797119
The offer said it's supposed to be paid.
>"What do your friends think of you?"
>Blabber about how my friends think of me
>"No, I mean, what do your friends think of you, not what you think of yourself"
>What the fuck, told them I wouldn't fucking know, asked him if he wants my friends number
>"Its okay to say you don't know if you really don't know"
>>53797119
Some internships are paid, anon. Usually temp-to-permanent positions are like that.
Those that aren't are just using the internship label to squeeze free and available labor down to the bone until you're a dried husk in hopes it'll make your resume look good when really the chances it increases from doing jack are very small.

Inheritance, anon.
And any time they ask "why" about one of those tenants, just say "easier to write, easier to maintain, easier to reuse."
>>53798488
No worries, Ive been employed for a few years now but still have some haunting memories
>>53798519
Oh, nice.
I actually have an in-person interview next week.
I only applied for the job because I had to for an assignment in my business communications class (we had to write a resume and apply for a job, then write an analysis on the interview if we got one), and I didn't want to be rude and cancel.
I've never interviewed before and I'm excitedly nervous.
>>53798553
IMO go to a shitload of interviews if you can. Its a good skill to have, even if you have a job. just get all the rough edgers rounded out now and you'll be that much better for it
>>53798488
This is some good shit here. Current computng student, any advice about CV or Resumes? I have friends who put every subject we are doing on his CV but I am considering leaving out my weaker ones.
>>53798410
>>53798488

Unless OOP is your landlord, I think the word you're looking for is "tenets"
>>53798865
For all intensive purposes, you should of known what we trying to say, so why does it matter?

>>53798959

:^=)
>>53798959
Be sure to include mistakes like that on your next cover letter. I'm sure it won't matter then either.
I hate tech interviews. If I was god, I'd round up every tech interviewer ever and make them do stupid programming puzzles for my personal enjoyment. I'd also ask them random questions that only someone with absurdly specific and pointless knowledge could answer.
If I found any of their answers to be inadequate I'd vanish all of their bank accounts. Karma for the faggots that like denying livelihood based on stupid shit.
I'd do the same to every HR person out there too. Make them take psychometric tests and fail them all regardless of how well they do.
Tech hiring is poison
>>53798991
>comparing cover letter to 4chan
>>53796765
I've been to 4 job interviews in my life. 3 of them Ive got the job.
Taking interviews you won't succeed at. Just how dumb are you /g/.
>>53799138
Character is destiny, anon.
The companies I applied to gave hankerrank coding challenges. Passed all test cases, then phone interview, then in person interview with different teams and then hiring manager. Got a few offers.
>>53799158
It's actually good practice to learn from your mistakes. The more confident you are, the more likely you are to be hired. If it doesn't go well, take the opportunity to figure out why, improve it, and move on to the next one.
This is actually upsetting as hell. How many jobs do I have to apply to before I finally get one? I have a CS degree and quite a few side projects.
>>53799350
It's more about who you know
>>53799376
Alright. Well, I have signed up for a couple of meetups lately. Maybe I'll find success there.
>>53799350
Took me like 15 interviews before I got hired, so it might be a while.
Hopefully somebody eventually will give you a job.
Apparently I got my position because I was outgoing and prompt on following up or some shit.
I have an interview at a computer repair place tomorrow, I'm dying.
It is pretty basic stuff like be knowledgeable of a+, know your way in a computer, know knowledge of virus stuff and that junk. I just hope they don't put me on the spot too much, I don't have everything memorized by any means.
>>53800043
When it comes to virus shit, if you cannot fix it with malwarebytes/msconfig/safemode removing /Appdata garbage, it's format time.
Learn that the reason "my laptop is slow" is because you need to take it apart, clean the shit stuck in the heatsink vent out, reapply thermal paste, reassemble.
You should be able to have a laptop back together in ~30mins without breaking anything.
Had an interview with a startup tomorrow, grandpa passed away today. Rescheduled for monday. Studying now. Hold on there Anons.

>>53800641
I type like a retard at night
I used to be like you. I got a job last month. Here are a few tips:
- Every interview is practice for your next interview. It's not easy to look into the farther future (of course you want THIS job) but you are not guaranteed THIS job
- Similar to the last one: Do not get attached to a job, even if it looks promising. You will feel depressed when you get rejected.
- Do not stop your job search until a job is secured (technically I'm on probation for 5 more months, so I guess my job isn't technically secured either)
- Work on your portfolio and side projects a little bit every day. Bullshit on GitHub. (I don't know if this contributed to my job actually, but it doesn't really hurt and it makes you feel better about yourself)
- Alway smile. Come prepared with common questions, such as "What is a project where you strugged a lot" or "What is one time where you had to step up to be a leader?") Look up these common questions and have an answer down for each. At the end of this, I felt like an expert interviewee.
- If you can't think of a situation where you've ever been a leader, it's okay to lie. These questions are easy to get away with lying. Just make up a story about how someone wasn't doing very well in a group project and you helped guide them or something. I made up a few stories in my interviews.
- in my first couple interviews I DID fuck up badly with lots of "Umm's" and replies like "Well, I have no experience in that but uh... uhh... well... I can do it."
- That reminds me: If you can help it, never bring up what you don't have. Always bring up what you do have. That might require just a bit of lying, and carefully wording questions, but it's not too difficult to answer about lack of experience by relating it to something you ahve done, or making up a white lie story.
I probably have a few more tips, but that's about all I feel like typing for now. Hope it helps out. Didn't proofread it at all.

>>53800948
lol you didn't get the job brofam. they probably weren't going to pick you at all. hr wastes peoples time with interviews just to look like they're doing a job when they chose who they want before the positions are even posted
>>53800948
you get your reply after 1 week usually... just call them (the secretary will call you back or something) or send a nice email asking
>>53800948
You didn't get it. Search for other jobs.
Took me about 6 job interviews before I got two job offers. That only happened because I created a profile website and implemented on of my projects in it. After that it was a cakewalk as they already knew I could build and implement code.

This worries me deeply, I have only been focusing on getting done my math exams and then go out to the wild and seek for jobs, however I don't feel mentally prepared to do any of these "tests", I can only manage to do it on my own without stress or pressure...Plus I am worried if I get something I don't know(but should know but never gotten to read and learn about)

What the fuck is that shit. Why do I have to answer a list of buzzfeed interview questions from a HR drone when I am applying for an entry level tech position?
>>53802634
Payed instead of paid seems to have become really popular in the last year. I assumed it was some stupid hip hop reference I didn't care to look up. Before last year I'd never seen it misused like this. Must be a reason for the sudden popularity.

Don't sweat it at least you got to the face to face interview the first time
>>53796765
one day you'll succeed, just believe more in yourself and don't overthink your mistakes

I'm lost how people can mess up interviews like this.
Go in. Be honest. If you fit, they offer job. If you claim good at software, expect test. We test. Simple shit, only to verify they are not lies.

The only way to nail and interview is, to be honest, and upfront with what you know. If you go in all flustered you will ultimately fail and the spaghetti will come pouring out of your pockets. Be straight with the person who's asking you the questions. It helps to have a bit of personality too.

What if you have high social anxiety like me and can't help spilling spaghetti?
I'm so pissed off with recruiters/interviewers. They aren't allowed to discriminate against stuff like gender, race, age, but they can sure as hell discriminate if you're a nervous person.
Haven't had a job interview in 17 years.

Speaking from personal experience, people who don't speak English as their native language don't make those kinds of mistakes very often. They certainly don't mistake homophones for each other. The mistakes tend to be more basic - words that are misspelled entirely or substituted for a thematically related word, missing articles(this is one that I do quite often, since Finnish doesn't have articles at all), not capitalizing nationalities and names of languages(seriously, English is the only language that does this. It makes no sense at all.) etc.

It could work, as long as there's nothing they could ask you that you wouldn't know. Otherwise, you're expected to have nerves of steel or to lie. Average honest betas with no networks like me are bound to be fucked over on interviews till they learn all there is to know.
>>53807474
>I'm lost how people can mess up interviews like this
For starters, you need to have very good communication skills. Even if you do have the skills, Employer may not hire you because they don't like your personality or your skillsets.
Technical Interviews have WhiteBoards, IBM Assessment, Random Qusetion asked, Fizzbuzz,etc. You have no idea what they will ask, and what answers the employer want.
Honest or Lying doesn't matter, you have to meet qualifications for what Employers wants for a candidate. You have to prove to them why you are the best candidate.

You do realize this is a tech board, not all of us are going to be socially savvy and interviews are nerve wracking for normal people too.
Interviews are complete bullshit too, instead of asking you shit like do you have the skills for the job and to prove it they ask you your life story and weird hard to answer questions.

Because it's actually dicking relevant, you pleb. I bet you're one of those guys who really thinks that you'll just go to work, spend 2 hours on some Javascript that someone basically site for you, then go home and collect your $100,000 check?
Guesd what faggot, even tech jobs still involves people and communication skills.
One think I keep seeing in these threads is people panicking in during technical questions.
All you need to do is start talking. Just say your train of thought as you go about solving it. DO NOT try to figure out the problem in your head for 5 minutes without saying a word. The tech question is more to see how you think than what you know.
Once you start talking about your initial assumptions on the question make sure to ask questions. "How is my input sorted?" "are these variables bounded by 0?" ect. The interviewer may give you hints if you go down the wrong path or say something that goes against the guidelines of the question that you overlooked.
Once you start talking and have the start of the idea start writing, you'll realize mistakes pretty quickly and can solve the problem faster too.
If you forget something trivial (like how to use pointers on a c-style string like I did once), let the interviewer know you are just blanking at the moment about the syntax and write in an approximatiom of the right code. They know any competent programmer could find the syntax of something in 10 seconds on google anyway.
The final thing is to TEST, give yourself some inputs and talk though the code you wrote. It shows them you understand what you wrote and you can usually find bugs and out of bound errors by testing edge cases like 0 or -1.
Source: Tips from a senior at my uni who is going to google this summer and helped me prep for and land the internship with the company where I forgot about string pointers.

Fuck it just took me 40 minutes to implement fibonacci. And its a loop as well not the recursion way of doing it. Gonna be NEET forever at this rate.
Maybe I can just memorize the solution like I do with binary search and fizzbuzz.
>>53817439
Anon, what does line 7 do in your FizzBuzz code?

int nextNumber = 0;

System.out.println(anArray[0]);
System.out.println(anArray[1]);
while (loopCount <= numberOfLoops)

System.out.println(nextNumber);
anArray[0] = anArray[1];
anArray[1] = nextNumber;

you fucking deserve this. this is what you do.
or if you were smart enough, you would always carry your cellphone cord with you and theter your data connection in case you cannot connect to any wifi nearby, or connect to the wifi on the cellphone and connect it to your laptop to do the same, Linux unlike Windows has native support for this with no need for internet to download drivers that enables the feature.

>>53817616
aw shit, back to the jobcentre it is :(
>>53817655
Good luck with that anon. The sad thing for me is ive already got my degree and I actually really like programming, its fun building things. I should probably be good at it by this stage. I know in my mind I can be pretty decent at this I just need to pull my finger out and stop wanking the day away or gaming and sit and work on some projects once in a while.
Im slowly building a login system for a website with spring boot. I find spring pretty complex but every little problem I solve, every new thing I figure out feels good and its fun when I get into it.

Im in 4th year computer engineering(b.s. degree). Just curious why isn't anybody talks about GPA. Im way too depressed not getting a job after graduate having the mid tier GPA. got my math,science,theoretical stuffs,electronics,data structure and other majors going well but not on minor disciplines such as history,humanities etc. Its been stressful that on my perception, i might not get employed easily if they would just look on my average gpa instead of those useful courses i taken seriously. Hope any of you would be interested in this matter.

Naww, you just wanted to hire someone Israeli and my country simply forced you to interview a local. With any luck they lost the contract, bet they'll yell antisemitism.
Most places with "diversity" statements don't even email me back, what are they going to say? No thank you, our HR lead read a few articles saying hiring white men was bad and you're clearly a white male?
Anyway, I'm getting close to suicide, I see no point to life if I'm incapable of success. Moral of the story, don't try to be a programmer in areas of the world most effected by leftism.

DESU familia you should wait till the employers reach out with their hand to you, otherwise you don't get to shake their hand.
>rejection: you don't fit the culture requirement
That sounds like discrimination.
Hang in there bro, maybe some day we're all gonna make it.
>>53825775
It's pretty obvious it was discrimination, but there are less than no avenues for a white man to claim discrimination because it's fucking promoted. No, really, what am I going to say? This company won't hire a white man? A magistrate would probably give them a nod of approval for "diverse" hiring.
I just wish they'd be more honest about it, maybe not waste my time or get my hopes up.
And no, anon, I'm starting to think there is no place for a white male programmer, unless you have five years experience but an inexperienced white male programmer is never going to get that.. so...
What really depresseses me (not now, just drunk) is that this year I had the best chances. Just officially graduated, have an epic project, work experience etc and I failed. Every consecutive year hurts my chances because having gap years in your resume looks bad. If I couldn't get a job this year, or last year, I won't get a job next year and it's almost impossible the year after. It's the hopelessness that's getting to me.

Maybe you're a fucking bigot? I think you're a fucking bigot, I bet you even parade for Sanders and shout down peoples opinions purely because they're white men. You don't actually think you're a good person, do you? You're right up there with the kkk during the 50s

>>53825964
I'm sure there are, but a white male that's already behind has fewer opportunities to get ahead and how many of those white males are juniors? We're in a time when people even in their early 30s are too old to see these effects and therefore too old to believe there's a problem. I don't deny I lack things, but you're just so ignorant if you believe being refused jobs for my ethnicity or gender is in anyway just.
Affirmative action is a means of class warfare. Privilege is just the cultural Marx... Sorry "critical theorists" word for bourgeois. It is oppression whether you're mature enough to admit it or not.
>>53826067
Let's say a company gives up 10% of its spots to useless diversity hires. Now, if you didn't get the job, you would have been at the bottom 10% of the company or lower. Crying about affirmative action is not an excuse for your own shortcomings.
>>53826104
What if a company is already of a decent size and are actually looking for 100% of their juniors/graduates being diversity hires? What if their HR lead has decided that there's already enough white men, and that hiring one more is "wrong"?
You are ignorant if you believe it's just 10%. You are ignorant if you believe they're hiring more than 2 or 3 people. Do you even have a job in STEM?
>>53825971
What the fuck are you doing in this thread? Go away, you're a useless person.
>>53826164
Then find another company. I had no problems getting a job at a top tech company as an asian male, which is even worse for diversity than a white male. What university did you go to? What internships did you have? How good are you with interview questions? What notable projects have you worked on? You should take a good look at yourself before crying about affirmative action.
>>53826236
No, it's fucking not.
You stupid cunt, not only are Asians overrepresented but it's only white men being discriminated against in hiring. You *may have had a bit when applying for uni, but for HR with sociology degrees it's just white men. Just. White. Men.

I forgot to mention (character limit wouldn't let me). Some time after that interview, I went to a job fair at my uni and I noticed that company's stand. It turned out, standing there were the same people that interviewed me. I actually came up to them and asked why they didn't hire me (don't know how I got the balls to do that). Wasn't anything mean-spirited, I actually smiled at them and they recognized me. The tech guy was in the back so I didn't get his input, but the HR woman said that they had a lot of candidates. I asked her what I should work on and she said "my confidence" and told me that they'd remember me next time they're looking for people. All I thought of that was

Sometimes they hire someone less qualified but just more interesting to talk to. Tech is also prey to corporate culture and office politics like most jobs.

Pay is great... I wanted to be a dev (I still do some minor programming stuff, like tools etc.) but I guess I should take whatever life handed me.
is it worth it to look for internship/future jobs before i finish school? I'd like to have at least something, but i'm not sure if employers would even be interested in hiring me (with the potential future of being there fulltime) if my studies aren't finished yet(about 4 months from now).

I don't usually sperg about this like you "MUH AMERICA ARE BAD ENGLISH WHY IS SO DUMB YES YES?" folks, but since you faggots started it...
You don't seem to realize that in reality, you fuck up exactly as often as they do. It's just that Americans don't bother correcting people because everybody makes mistakes, and especially in the case of non-native speakers, because we understand that you haven't spoken the language as long as we have, so you get away with it and assume that your English is perfect because nobody ever corrects you. You then correct random people on their English and assume they're American. Please die.
>>53829893
It's always worth it. Might not be a 1-1 mapping, but I remember spotting an advert for a full-time sysadmin position with x years of experience during my second year of university. I thought 'fuck it', contacted the company, saying I was a scumbag student in need of some exp. They brought me in for a couple of months during summer, because I sounded interesting and I sounded interested in what they did. They did a lot for me. You honestly never know what will happen. Totally do it.
>>53830078
Are companies even interested in people like me? I know some stuff, but i have no experience. I've got a few unrelated certs(Microsoft stuff + some other things), so i'm not sure whether i'd be wanted. I'm eager to learn and pretty good with people(highly autistic but i can hide my power level), so i think i'd probably get in due to that.

B) Interesting
After all, they're going to be spending more time with you more than their fucking families.

Honestly, the best answer to that question is making sure they understand what to do via shadowing a team mate and seeing if they catch on at picking up slack or finding out what they're good at so you can delegate a task to them.
They might go for it. They might not. If they start being defiant or resistant, at least you've done your part. Give it about a week or two, check in but don't loom over them. There's only so much you can do for those people.
Though it's a gray area whether or not reporting them is the way to go. If they fuck up, it'll show.

Yeah, a lot of people don't make it past the first couple weeks. They either get bored to death and quit or they get fired for stupid shit like only showing up 3 days a week, barely being able to speak English, hotboxing their car on lunch break, etc. Affirmative action and EOE is a funny thing.

What was the question?
>>53820192
A good environment will have coworkers that care about you along with a manager. The HR "hag" asked this question to see if he could have the potential to be a positive influence within a team.

Not sure if you're just trolling me but how did you came up with a good profile and was your job worth the salary, i mean for a fresh graduate ofcourse. My sister was a computer science graduate with 1.25 GPA (nearly 3.0 in america). The week after she post her credits online she got no less than 15 job offers. I just need to boost my confidense.

Help me out here if you're still here brah.
I want to get into QA shit because I don't think I have the intuition to be a developer.
Tell me about the interview, your job responsibilities, and what I should know.
has anyone here considered the NSA as a potential career? I'm checking out their scholarships and internships since I'll be entering college soon but the recruitment standards I'm reading make me feel inadequate.

He might come from a more PC culture than you do anon or you might have had better connections than him. It's hard to deny that plenty of media exists that dissuads and creates a stigma against hiring white men, he could be extremely disadvantaged especially if he doesn't have any work experience.
IMO, I don't think the USA has these problems.

It's just a boogeyman in the US. A bunch of my friends work for large tech companies, and the women and minorities meme is overblown. The % of women and minorities hired is about the same as how many smart ones there were at your university. Meaning the most qualified person is hired for the job. All women I work with are smart and know their shit, and all the tumblr idiots went off to shitty startups.

1.25 out of 4?
That is incredibly low. I'm struggling with 3.2 out of 4.
>>53834320
What if it's not a bogeyman outside of the US? What if I told you the last place I went to was at least 50% minorities and women, usually a mix of both with awkward clumps of Asian girls congregating and looking really nervous.
To be honest American self centeredness is astounding, you actually believe if problems don't exist in your country (or rather area) they don't exist anywhere, huh?
>>53834462
Most major tech companies are in the US, so I don't really care.

Gold.

Im the guy you replied to, sorry don't really know much about american grading system but we used 1.0 as the highest.
>>53834549
How does you get more than the maximum mark? Grading systems like that shit me, it's unfair on systems in which such things are impossible.
