EVENT DETAILS

Eric Schmidt says, "The interview is where you truly learn about a person it is far more important than the resume."[1] Come and learn about the ideal interview experience, work through selected problems from Cracking the Coding Interview[2], share and (constructively!) critique resumes, and share strategies towards handling the less-than-ideal case.

Preparation:
* Choose one position that you would love to apply for. Prepare a tailored resume and cover letter, and bring those plus the position description.
* Bring pen and paper for coding. If using a laptop, plan to use a plain-text editor, not your usual coding editor.
* Choose an interview-coding problem from somewhere on the web, and give yourself 30-40 minutes to solve it using pen-and-paper. Extra credit: Afterwards, write a well-tested solution and upload it to github. Consider bringing the link to share.

Itinerary:
7-7:30 What to expect, prep strategies.
7:30-8 Coding practice.
8-8:30 Other question types, fielding bad questions, q&a
8:30-9 Peer review of resumes and code.
