Surviving Technical Interviews

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

We'll be talking about how to survive – and thrive – in the software development interview process, including tips and tricks for answering both behavioral and technical interview questions.

Our guest speakers / panelists will discuss:

1. Basic tips on answering behavioral / resume-based questions effectively.

2. Key problem-solving techniques to apply during screening interviews and technical / white-board interviews.

3. Personal stories of their own interview experience.

4. How the process works at their organization – and how to succeed in their process.

5. Resources for those who want more information and practice.

North Seattle College is served by several buses and rideshare services. We encourage folks to use public transit and carpool if possible, but parking is available for a small fee on campus. Parking is very limited in the neighborhood surrounding campus.
