What’s a common mistake you see experienced developers make in interviews that they don’t even realize? I feel senior candidates sometimes overthink or under explain. Curious to hear your perspective.

Overthinking is a big one. A lack of social skills is also an issue, though I would imagine they do realize that. I don't mind some awkwardness, but we are evaluating them for team fit as well as skills.

Have my closing interview with Accenture next week.

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Tech

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
