I’m in the middle of sending out applications and considering all the things I should refresh on. Does anyone have some good resources or practices they run through to get refreshed or otherwise prepared for technical and skill/personal interviews?

Ex. Sites, blogs, yt videos to refresh on data structures and algorithms. Checklist of things to look for when researching companies. Questions to ask recruiters during an interview. etc.

    If it’s a video or phone interview I take a shot 10 minutes before start time, loosens me up and helps me to be less in my head. Hate encouraging alcohol use to anyone, but it’s always worked for me

      HAHA I wonder how many people do this. Does sound kind of useful.

        Booze lowers inhibitions, that’s not always a good thing, but in a situation where you really want to impress it’s not uncommon to be stiff and visibly nervous, which is counterproductive. Smoothing that edge a bit when the situation calls for is using alcohol as a tool, just remember any tool can be dangerous if used improperly

      Hate alcohol but some klonopin an hour or two before is magical. I swear it’s been the reason I’ve gotten offers. CBD tincture or a joint with like 9:1 CBD:THC can also do wonders.
