Standing Out During Your Tech Interview for QA,SDET, & Dev Jobs
You applied for a job, finally got called back about them be interesting in interviewing you and today now you are interviewing. What are some things that you should focus on to stand out from the competition?
1. First Impressions!
Make sure you show up extra early to the area that the interview is located at. This is especially important if you are taking public transportation to your interview. A first impression is a lasting impression.
The worst thing that could happen is that the day you decide to take the train in to the city, there is massive train delays, that will not only stress you out but also may make you late. Not being on time for that day for a new company shows a reliability factor and they may think you wont be on time for your regular working hours if you were hired.
Also make sure that you are properly dressed. It is always better to overdress for an interview than underdress. Even if the dress code for the job is a t shirt and shorts, don’t wear that to the interview. You do not have the job yet, and should dress accordingly.
