👋🏻Привет! Мы вернулись))начинанием понедельник с полезного совета от наших преподавателей о том, как отвечать на вопрос (который вам точно зададут) о ваших прошлых проектах во время собеседования:
📌If you’ve been working for a couple of years, you might have quite a lot projects to talk about. Then you should really care about conciseness and relevance.
Select projects/experiences carefully and ask yourself why I choose this project to discuss. It might be because the project is technically challenging and shows your leadership skills at the same time. Or it might be because the project is highly relevant to what the new company is doing. All in all, you should be aware of the reason for everything you want to discuss.
📌Also, it’s important to keep a balance between high level ideas and details, which is a common mistake for experienced engineers. Things like “I’ve built the whole infrastructure of our crawling system” is too vague except you came from a well known company like Google, which justifies the complexity. Otherwise, you’d better explain why this point is important (relevant). You may mention that the system has crawled 1B URLs with 20 machines.
📌However, the opposite extreme is equally bad. Too many technical details can only confuse interviewers. Again, a good criterion is to ask yourself – does this detail provide extra information that significantly shows my relevance and strength? If not, don’t bother to mention it.
А вдруг именно сегодня у вас интервью!🤓несколько фраз, которые можно использовать, когда вы говорите о своих преимуществах:
