Practice talking about your work — how you arrived at the idea, how you collaborated, how involved you were in the production.

Practice your response to “tell me a little about yourself.” Manage to strike a balance between too much and too boring.

Reference work that your interviewer has made. Everyone LOVES being complimented and talking about themselves. Better yet — ask them how they came up with their campaign.

Ask smart questions that make you look good eg “How receptive is [CLIENT] to proactive ideas?”

Hi all,

What all is asked in data science interview?

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

Started a new gig over a month ago and was very excited to work with my new partner but they haven’t been too welcoming, projects have not been collaborative (just me doing it and emailing it to them), they don’t really reply to my messages about work (started remote) and doesn’t really reply to any creative inspiration that I send to break ice. Not sure why there’s been zero effort on their end? Kind of bummed. Anyone else been there?
