Notes

List your top 5 skills before an interview.

  • e.g. debugging
  • Ruby models
  • CSS frameworks

Why is it a skill? Examples please. So important to be able to provide evidence of why it's a skill.

Be honest when rating your proficiencies. It's okay to say you're still learning something.

What's your greatest weakness? Choose something you're half good at - so you can show that you're doing something about it. E.g. I'm still a junior at Web Dev, but it makes me more keen to bridge the gap and keep learning.

I'm not a morning person ha-ha.

If you're going for a govt role, then they'll usually ask situational questions - so prepare for that.

  • describe situation
  • action you took
  • result

Where do you see yourself in 2/5 years time.

Make something up! 2 years projects E2E, responsibility (lead role in 5 years?)

You could do contract work? $50 an hour is around right. $300 - $400 p/day.
