This is very smart! I actually worked as a QA for a software team before becoming a developer so I was exposed directly to the agile process before I learned the code!

I think this is spot on. Focusing on talking about the software development lifecycle, working with others and estimating time are much more important to a hiring entity than whether or not you can find a solution to a coding problem.

After reading the whole article, I'm speechless. How can a person present a simple calculator as the product of the yearπŸ™ˆ. It explains how to write the project details on the CV and how to Present it to the Interviewer.

I recommend this article for a new developer who is confused about how to write and present the project during the interview process.

Your methods are good practices that every beginner developer should know and build upon. I am also a self taught FE developer with 6+ years experience and I used many of your tactics in interviews along the way. In fact, just coming from an interview where I used some of them and it went great :) In this fast paced and constantly changing branch, versatility is an important ability, as it's almost impossible to master all concepts/technologies required in a project. If you say that your mindset is oriented towards constantly learning new things and adapting to challenges, it will give you a big advantage in interviews. Make this look like one of your strenghts and it will get you a long way.

Best of luck Julia, and thank you for the article. Congratulations on your job, you're going to be a great developer !

In my honest humble opinion, the interviewer is already bored.

Very unrealistic.

I guess everyone has to find their own way that works best for them.

With this kind of presentation I could skip the second round and got the job the next day.

And I wish that I can help many others have the same success with this approach as well.

An interesting thing is that even as you progress through career, knowing how to package and present your work (as well as yourself to that matter) will always remain an invaluable skill.

After interviewing hundreds of developers I know that many amazing and talented developers don't even try to stand out. And that's a pity.

Good lord! That was impressively thorough.

I love how you intertwined your existing knowledge and attention to detail with sensible humility throughout, in the sense that, for some of the topics, you didn't claim to have personal experience but just what you had heard or read about it.

I would add that one should apply this method to any previous experience, whether or not it was within the IT industry.

Take any knowledge already gained or prior exposure to tech-related concepts, even if only troubleshooting a coworker's buggy computer, and apply the same template.

While still being truthful, you should leverage each bit of experience and any takeaways to your advantage, both on your resume/CV and during the interview.
