I failed eight coding interviews in a row, even though I practiced. I graduated with a computer science degree last year, but my algorithm and data structure skills are weak. Should I rethink if I am suitable to be a developer? What should I do?
Absolutely not. Failing 8 interviews is hardly indicative of your future or even current potential as a Software Engineer. The only thing it's indicative of is that you're either applying to the wrong positions, or need improvement on your interviewing skills.The one thing we do know is that there's little point doing more interviews without changing one part of the equation. You need to look at this scientifically, change a variable of your interviewing technique, and observe the results. Do you make it further down the interview pipeline? Or does it make things worse.First question if you're interviewing to the right types of positions. If you're an iOS Developer, and you're interviewing for Ruby on Rails roles that have a tiny iOS component for a dumb front end, that might be a problem! Make sure you are interviewing for roles where you match the skill set.Second is analysis as to why your interviews are going poorly. You may have to guess here. Or even better, work with someone who can do mock interviews with you. I recommend checking out CareerCup's site as they have some professionals who can do mock interviews with you and provide you feedback.In my experience in Software Engineer interviews, the following are typically issues:- Mismatch in expectations. Company expects the candidate to know Windows programming and somehow a Unix OpenGL programmer is in the interview.- Personality issues. Sometimes an engineer can seem really strong technically, but it's clear their attitude would not work well with the team.- Not solving the technical or whiteboard questions in a sufficient way. This could be not knowing technologies or how to solve a problem during a technical discussion. Or performing below expectations for the whiteboard portion, whether this is algorithm solving, system design, or something else.Fortunately these are all solvable, and don't mean that your University degree was obtained in vain. The latter bullet point, which is the most likely case, can be fixed by studying algorithm books, and a great starting point is Cracking the Coding Interview (2011 book) My advice is seek out a coach to do a mock interview. CareerCup is a good starting point.
I've lost my job 3 times in a row in less than a year. Now what am I supposed to do?
I've lost my job three times in one year and am extremely frustrated. My first job I was fired from because I couldn't handle my bosses abuse and harassment. He would argue with me and even brought pornography into the office at one point in time. He would degrade me in front of my coworkers and humiliate me whenever he could. I reported his behavior when he put me on a performance enhancement plan and I was shortly fired thereafter. He said we feel you are not the fit for the job. I found it unusual though how I worked there for more than two years and after I complained about him bringing in pornography I was fired. The company retaliated against me and I reported them to the EEOC and won the complaint. Now I was recently laid-off along with 40 other employees in Florida after I moved here from Illinois just two months ago. I feel like I am a failure and that the problem is me and that I can't work anywhere without trouble arising. I've been looking for a chance of life because I didn't feel in my element in Illinois. Sometimes I feel like I don't want to live anymore and that I'm being punished for something. I'm the nicest person you could ever meet. I'm always so concerned for people and am always wanting to help others and all I ever get in return is a huge slap in the face. I've decided to go back to school and get into something else. I was thinking about Certification in computer networking (CCNA and A+ - possibly Network+). Would you suggest this to me? I'm looking for a MAJOR career change because my field of study GIS (computer map mapping) is slowly dying off. All I'm looking for here is words of encouragement and I would be greatful to here your experience with being fired/laid off. Thanks!
How bad is it to reschedule a job interview twice?
My little sister had a really bad MS attack, and needed to be rushed to the hospital. I had to come and stay with her, and had to reschedule my job interview twice. It's for a seasonal job at a store. I only need it while I'm off of school. Should I just forget about the job? Or will they understand because it was an emergency?
I am a dropper. This year I couldn't make it to the JEE Advanced (got 101/360). I don't have the guts to tell my dad my score. What should I do now? Is suicide an option?
I'm a dropper too. My brother cleared JEE Advanced last year and he's now studying in IITK.I got 178 marks last year in JEE mains and got 166 in JEE Advanced but I didn't got admission anywhere.When I decided to drop this year I thought I would easily get under 1000 rank. I joined distance course of resonance. It was going well first few months but after that I felt lonely. And I started to feet scared every time I thought about JEE exam.I started to get more and more scared and finally I was depressed. Scared even to touch books.I had so many fights with my family about my studies especially my father. I was so convinced to end this painful life. It looked so easy. Just few minutes of pain but endless peace after that.The girl I used to love also hated me so there wasn't any reason for me to live.Then I started thinking about meaning of life but couldn't find anything good. Suddenly I realised that how big the universe is and how insignificant our lives are. I decided that my life is my own and I'm not going to waste my life listening to what others want me to do.So I stopped things that make sad or scares me and started doing things that make me happy.I stopped studying for exams and played guitar, painted, played cricket all the year.Now I'm ready to face anything life throws at me because my life is my own and I don't care about anything. And I know I can live it my way. The worst scenario would be that I may not have anything or I may become beggar but that would be OK. I can live with that.
I feel bad I havent gone to church 3 weeks in a row! Feeling guilty?
Yes I still pray every night. I used to read the Bible every night too but Ive been slipping lately and not reading at night. I am going to make sure I read the Bible every night. My husband and I read together. I didn't do anything wrong but I am used to going to church on Sundays and suddenly breaking the habit made me feel guilty. Thanks for your answers guys. I am going to work it into my schedule. I am used to going on Sundays but nothing really mandates church on Sundays I can go any day of the week. You guys gave me great answers. Thanks. =)
