I feel like a man dying of thirst while watching another man drown.

Here I am, watching this 30 minutes before my interview

man i really thought i had confidence lol. anyway no one is doing this bro i am glad to see you really want to help us and we appreciate that. this is really helpful

If I waited to have enough "required" experience before applying, I wouldn't have landed any dev job I've ever taken. My first was fresh off a 2 year IT degree. DON'T worry about meeting all the qualifications. Good Video. Mirror your interviewer is probably the best advice for job seekers.

Using "we're providing" instead of "you're providing" to show personal investment in the company is a cool little bit of psychology. Love the videos

"You could be a good fit for our backend as well." Haha

These videos give me so much hope!!!

I really think Josh is a hero in the software community. He shows us what software companies are really like, and looks out for the little man. I feel more confident in myself after watching this video.

Joshua, you are a legend man I can't stop watching your videos!

Thank you for recording this, can have less stress about interviews now.

It actually makes sense that she passed you to the next level not based on experience but because you "vibe" with their culture and you also have read up on them and know about them, plus you also like their tech stack that it is the "preferred one" for you. Since she liked you and you also hit the professional connection stuff and you seem smart she will pass you. You are correct to just go for it. Keep it up dude.

I really appreciate you showing the human sides to these interviews

I'm lucky to be one of the few extremely extroverted devs, so I have no trouble matching people thankfully

Not even going to lie. I really appreciate you taking the time to make all this content. Really taught me a lot about not just about engineering but life as well and that's pretty big deal. You're high key like my YT mentor lol. I appreciate you man.

Great content! Definitely value added. I usually get past the HR interviews with relative ease also. It's the assignments and whiteboard interviews that I need to work on. Especially my presentation during whiteboard interviews.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was very eye-opening.

He's so good at just coming across in the exact way the interviewer wants him to come across.

This made me slightly tear up somehow. wow thank you for showing this often hidden reality.

this is actually really useful for reference. As a computer science student at a university, my non-technical interview skills are nowhere close to yours, I feel like I can learn alot from watching your videos!

Thanks for the video. Really helpful.

At first I heard Lehi and I thought “no way he’s in Utah” but then I heard based out of Salt Lake City 🙌🏽 that’s cool. I’m in Salt Lake too, actually I was driving to SLCC to work on some C# development while listening to this videos. I subbed a couple weeks ago and uve been giving some great content man. Real stuff I can use.💯💯 It’s appreciated .

"I win when you guys win" - cool philosophy

My issue is never with non-technical interviews it’s always with technical interviews. I don’t like when hiring managers want candidates to code in front of them, it’s a bit too intimate and coming from a design background I think smart hiring managers know they can’t interview non CS candidates like that.

You ask some really great questions in all your videos, keep up the great work!

I really appreciate what you do Josh. It's really helpful for me. Thank you!

are you allowed to share the assesment josh? it would be interesting. otherwise, could you create an equivalent one (in terms of required functionality, etc.) ? that'd be really cool

Love this kinda content. Keep it up!

so underrated i can appreciate how forward you are. I really hope i develop enough skill soon.

Yo these thumbnails are on point

Hey Josh I just wanted to say thank you for all the help you have provided me every since I found your channel. I had my first interview on Halloween as well. How Ironic =D! I used a lot of your feedback given in your resume and portfolio review videos to assist me in writing a well-developed resume and cover letter. I really appreciate all that you are doing. Keep up the great work!

Recording the interview is one thing, publishing it is another :P Good interview btw.

Confidence, confidence,and confidence.

i loved her energy. idk why but it would be nice to be around that.

I just started watching the channel today, but it’s pretty dope. Keep up the work!

As a former chef, now a software engineer, I truly think that’s a great concept to be able to simplify the food industry workers lives with software. Hell yeah, josh. I’m glad you are highlighting the entire scope. Also, my first front end development rate was $22 an hour. ^ Hope that helps others looking to get their first dev job!

I always lack the fluency while talking to some person like this especially during the interview and your view is giving me so much confidence. and I guess I really need to hold on to my guts and talk confidently , thank you so much for showing this interview please showcase one of the technical round as well, I start stammering sometimes when it is unnecessary

great job man, thanks for sharing that.

Another great vid! I love these! I have totally shot myself in interviews by saying "No I dont know that... maybe I could learn... wow I dont have all those skills you have there... (the listed like 40)... " I like your attitude on them and the way you are taking control of the interview process. You rock!

gr8 vid bro! keep it up

Wow you handled that interview. You got skillz!

This video was super helpful thank you so much

Wow man this vid was so helpful, glad I came across it!

Making your own hours? Jeez sounds like my dream job

Wow, I appreciate your content. Keep it up!

Thank you for your content 😊

Awesome interview.

thanks buddy. eye opening informations

Thank you bro. We (juniors) appreciate it

Hey Josh, I've seen many KZfaq videos and I will have to say this is easily one of my favorite channels. Keep doing what you doing man, ultimately I want to do something just like this. I'm still at an early stage of programming, maybe about a little over a year in. These videos are super motivating and I will definitely keep watching! I've been diving in on some react tutorials now. I am a self-taught programmer, I honestly can't afford bootcamp. By the way, I just had an interview with Trilogy Education and the follow-up is on Friday. Lol. It's for a teacher assistant role.

Awesome video as always bro 👌👌👌👌

Your story just motivated, I'm having my first front-end interview that requires 3+ years experience and I don't have, I nearly gave up coz of the number of years

Amazing!

good shit brother

Just in case if I didn't say it earlier, your videos help me keep going(all over in life). And thanks for the discord. Hope to see a small tick near your channel name soon.

Love this

Interesting vid as someone who's applying for grad roles which involve coding but aren't developer or engineer roles. Working with different languages but I see companies asking for languages or software which are unpopular for the purpose among undergrads best trained for the role. Obviously trying not to criticise them directly but I'm glad I'm not the only one(as a non-developer) who's put off by antiquated languages. If it was junior roles, like in this video, it's a little more understandable but definitely not for grad roles, so learning on the job would be required. Having a language with an active community writing new libraries/packages is the only real way forward.

Oh boy, a combo of waterfall, agile and scrum 😑 not a good sign lol also, agile is a set of principals that is applied to scrum, not its own stand alone “development methodology”

Thank you for this.

Dankness. Word up.

Great job Josh.

Bro i live in clearfield, lets have coffee one of these days! 👍

I had the experience thing happen to me alot. The resume clearly describes the periods and projects, yet after the interview they remember they want seniors

dope camera, I'm on 480p and it looks pretty HQ

Great video! At least I know a bit more about what I don't know.

I haven't been through a job interview in almost 10 years. I want to start looking for work this year as a front end web developer and I'm kind of nervous about going through the interview process :(

She is definitely in love with you. Thank you for help, hope I get a job like u😉

Wow wow wow JavaScript is here👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I am watching this before my interview, its tomorrow

Great video Josh, I'm graduating college in a few weeks and am on the hunt for grad roles - this was really insightful, thank-you!

Recruiters are going to start rejecting interviewing you, when they find out you are recording these for your KZfaq channel, it is very entertaining though so I hope that doesn’t happen :)

She was probably being super friendly because you were recording. Hey if you can, could you record some one that finished lambda school going part time?

Dude, she makes me want the job haha. Energy can really make a difference in the success of your interactions - duly noted.

Nice video josh

Experience doesn't matter or the person is making a quota. I had an interview where I did not have the experience, was passed forward anyway, and interview #2 the person and I agreed I was not a good fit.

You are a really great interviewee

25 minutes,worth of my time

I regret that I never watch this video before i used to intern interview. 4 Months ago i get an interview opportunity at the Unicorn Startup in Indonesia. But i loss it, i think it's due lack of my performance and no prepare. Also when they call me i just waking up because i haven't sleep at night.

Curious to see if you made the move to go in for the second interview and if you were received an offer. I'm a new sub so I may not have seen a video where you've done follow up videos on getting the offer.

I am a Vue / Laravel PHP Developer. This video made my day.

Hey Josh really like your content. Can you please do a video about the assessment?

16:30 goOd DeAl I saw Josh's face go, am i a DEAL !!

yoooo this man got FLIGHT as his screen saver! I use to read those at school with amulet. Kazu Kibuishi is so dope. His books need the avatar last air bender treatment.

This was awesome! Gives me more confidence in starting to apply. At the end you said "the guy sounds pretty chill" lol I think you meant "girl" but hey it was 830am.

I enjoyed her approach. She tries to break down her responses and descriptions the best she could whilst maintaining a good spirit. I get why she the 4-5 years of experience.

Thank you for your content Josh! I just got into Lambda School, starting this Monday. Learned of them through you and the content you put on this channel. Appreciate you man!

I’ve been contacted by many recruiters that say “I came across your resume on indeed and you look like a good fit for this role” and then I never hear from them again and I get declined for the role..

I love this channel and Josh as cool as they come and I have learned so much from him. But $155k is for click bait, $58/hr was never mentioned during the interview.

The fake enthusiasm from the recruiters is kind of off putting i know there's nothing wrong with being upbeat and friendly but... Damnn relax

We would like to see a real tech interview (2nd and 3rd interviews).

Thank You for this video,.it gives me some good insight what it's like,.

I want to let you know, I just started watching your videos a couple days ago and just watching them boosted my confidence about my career path in accounting. I'm studying for the CPA exam and never had an accounting job because all the jobs require experience. I've been to a number of interviews and I guess I wasnt doing it right because they asked my experience level and I was honest and mentioned I didn't have any but am very fascinated in working in there field. Never got hired or I was being offered way less than my current job in security which is sad. I did accept and worked an internship for internal auditor and got paid for it. I was one of two that got hired out of fifty (according to interviewer) and we were told right in the middle of the internship that we weren't getting a full time position but this helps with our experience in a resume. It was because the company was going through a merger. Anyways, I'm motivated to pass the CPA exam and know my worth. Thank you again, love your videos and hope things work out better with your family.

115k a year = 35 an hour?? Did I miss something

It's not always apptitude, but information.

Dude you live in Salt Lake City? What are some good local groups for front end developers in Salt Lake City? Let's keep in touch. Thanks for sharing! Great info by the way.

Your content is awesome. Interesting my work is what you are doing now teaching people, resume reviews, running and developing classes, and I find it so boring and would rather just be coding. Anyway, subscribed.

You asked great questions, thanks for sharing and giving more insight. Are you doing the assessment so we can see what they asked in it?

I feel that in any interview the more questions you ask the tension dissapates quickly and on top of that the interviewer can see that you truly care about your next potential job. This video is the perfect demonstration of this! 19.3 outta 5 for rad content Josh!

Although I keep up to date with the latest programming code I still do the majority of my contracts with antiquated coding and programming to integrate older technology with leading edge technology. Many large and old corporations have invested 100's of millions to billions in older machines and just are not willing to replace them with newer machines and technology. So I integrate the newest programs and machines with older entrenched machines. I fill a very small niche in data and computer centers for old companies still using old and antiquated machines and operating systems and coding programs. And I can command a high compensation package with my contracts. Take me or leave me. Not many can do what I do. There is a lot of reverse engineering involved in what I do and my Electronics Engineering and programming education and experience is critical to accomplish that. Take my contract or leave it.

hopefully u can upload wordpress developer interview

A technology soup that keeps being stirred and added to, even take out from, at that company...
