On the other hand, maybe that's another reason for doing it. Who wants to work for that kind of untrusting/micromanaging shit.

Green Bay Police Department needs a Software Engineer, hmm... I applied even though I'm probably under qualified, I don't see any harm in trying. The position would actually be perfect for me. I'd get to show off my programming geek and also help train others how to benefit from my PC geek knowledge. I'm actually hoping I land this one more than the one tomorrow. I can't be too choosey though, both would be great opportunities for me.

My word. You are NOT under-qualified.

Do you need me to coach you? Seriously. I'll coach you how to interview better. I'm free today and tomorrow and after that, I won't be free any more because I'm starting a new job.

Send me a PM if you're interested. Free of charge. I owe you one because this site rules and you're paying for it.

Monday I was actually given quite a few pointers. She said I did some things well, but that I absolutely need to use better confidence in an interview and I had to be more cocky borderline arrogant. Any tips you got, I'm open to them.


Keep in mind, I didn't apply telling them I was under qualified, lol. I've spent the morning reading technical interview questions/answers and how to accentuate the positive. 🙂

They want to see confidence.

NOBODY has all the skills and NOBODY knows everything. You end up learning a lot of things on the job. I've interviewed quite a few people in my life and the ones I gave thumbs up to are not necessarily the most qualified, but the ones who seem like they WANT to be there. The latter type will perform better than the former almost every time.

Technical interview questions are my weak spot. I've spent quite a few hours understanding the concepts I'm expected to know and actually still working on it now. Coding some examples to coincide with the answers I'll give.



Edit, I took notes from technical interviews from 2008 to random interviews through 2011. I've been using that as my platform to learn from. Notes such as when asked how to prevent a class from being inherited and I had no answer. You use a sealed class to prevent it from being inherited.

I worked in a company a long time ago where I had to do a lot of Perl tools. That company no longer exists so they lost their copyrights to the tools I wrote.

I can't code in Perl nowadays, but if I had to do it, I'll get it back in a few weeks. (I've been a UNIX Admin, not a coder since the early 00s). So I print out those tools and bring them to interviews. I say "I can't do this right now, but I've done this in the past and if I had to, I can re-learn how to do it again. I just got cobwebs because it's been since the dot com days when I coded in this language."

They eat it up every time because it's real. I got people who will vouch that I was the guy who wrote the tools.

So yeah, print up shit and bring it to interviews. Show them what you've done in the past and make a point that you LOVE doing this stuff and you're only going to get better.

Most importantly, show PASSION. Show that you LOVE doing this stuff. Passion leads to excellence.

You have no clue how much motivation that is giving me. Thank you. I was actually debating on how to show my previous work. I have the source code from previous job, but I obviously can't compile them connecting to their servers without severe consequences. I was considering printing off the NFL Pick'em and the Top 10 SQL queries from this site as well as some code from previous jobs. I'm definitely going to do it now.
