You know this feeling. You’ve sent CV, recruiter is calling you back, you’ve finished an interview via phone or in the office. The next step is to finish programming task. Today’s episode is going to help you get through it smoothly & without unforced mistakes.
What & when you should do even before starting working on your task, how you should proceed with filling your knowledge gaps, what commit strategy you should follow, is it worth doing extra things & how to improve your chances while checking your results – we’ve gathered the maximum amount of useful tips, which hopefully should help you to get a job that you’ve decided to get.
A quick reminder. The idea of Beyond the Code is simple. We would like to focus on different sets of skills that might be useful for software engineers, which are not coding/programming/prototyping, etc. You can expect new episodes, around 30 minutes long, every second Wednesday.
We’ve already published several episodes of our podcast – check them out if you still haven’t :). Please note that we’ve decided to run the podcast in Polish, although we are still planning to invite several foreign guests for episodes recorded in English.
