Description

I Know Exactly How You Feel...

There are so many talented developers competing for the same jobs at top companies like Amazon, Zynga, Facebook, Google, and Twitter. How can you rise above the competition?

I know how you feel, because I was you: a tech ninja (if I do say so myself!) with desire and drive. I dreamed of getting my foot in the door of an awesome company. I was eager for real opportunities to further hone my craft and to work with other top developers.

And I did it! I scored jobs at both Amazon and Zynga.

But I don’t just work as a developer. I also get to participate in the hiring process. I have interviewed tons of tech hopefuls looking for a break -- just like you.

Participating in the interview process has been painful. Seriously. I’ve watched applicant after applicant sweat the interview process. I’ve seen candidates with great potential bomb their phone interviews. I’ve marveled at how unprepared and lost so many potential hires were.

Now that I’m through the looking glass, I can see all the mistakes applicants make, from being surprised by behavioral questions to not being prepared to demonstrate their programming skills.

For example, to weed out the unqualified and focus on top-tier candidates, we screen for 4 things: can you write for a loop, use a conditional, do basic math, and do you understand Booleans? These are basic skills, right? Right?!

You’d be surprised by how many developers falter.

This goes to show: “what you don’t know can destroy you!” To ace your tech interview, you need to know what you’re going to be asked and what interviewers are really looking for. My book gives you the insider knowledge you need to get a leg up in any tech interview.

I don’t want to see any more qualified candidates suffer! So I decided to share my interviewing secrets with you so you can walk into your next tech interview feeling confident.

In my book, you’ll find secrets like:

  • In a phone interview, you will encounter project-oriented conceptual questions. You’ve got to have good answers for: “Describe encapsulation” or “Tell me about multiple inheritances.”
  • At any tech interview, you can bet on being asked: “If you could change something about the site, what would it be?” Do your homework; be ready to give a thoughtful answer.
  • Want to make a lasting impression on your interviewer? Ask the #1 most engaging question:“What do you like best and worst about your job?”
  • 95% of Amazon interviews are decided upon in 1 day. That means you have just 1 day to show everything you’ve got.

And lots more!

Sure tech interviews can be grueling, but, with my help, you can breeze through the interview process (or at least survive it!) and get the job that you deserve.

In short: it’s not just about having the right skill-set. You need to know how to prepare, what to expect, and how to shine. My ebook will be your personal guide through your tech interview, every step of the way.

My book will improve your chances of landing that coveted spot working for a top company.
