If you are granted the first interview, you're considered qualified on paper.

If you are granted any subsequent interviews, you're almost certainly considered fully qualified for the job.

Thus, if you get rejected, it probably isn't because of you. Someone else just better fit the company's expectations and needs for the role than you, and that basically comes down to chance. Keep your chin up!

Navigating through developer interviews can feel like stepping into a maze of technical challenges and interpersonal assessments. From coding tests to behavioral questions, candidates must showcase their skills and fit for the role. It's crucial to prepare thoroughly, honing both technical proficiency and communication abilities. And remember to stay focused, even when distractions like 카지노사이트 may arise. Moreover, researching the company and its culture can provide valuable insights. Remember, preparation is key to success in navigating these interviews. Like finding your way through a labyrinth, understanding the terrain of a developer interview can lead to triumph. Remember, preparation is key to success in navigating these interviews.

I have a question.

After going through the interview, would you prefer to email them to follow-up your status for employment(is it a red flag or not)?

I don't like recruiters ghosting me after the interview. I've been waiting their reply for two weeks.

I would usually send an email to thank them after an interview and a follow-up email after about 3 days to either continue the interview process or thank them for giving me an opportunity to have a interview with them.

For me, I usually would not work with recruiters unless it's through my own network that has provided a referral that I trust or they are employed in the company that is hiring.

As their incentives are similar to a salesman who is always placing candidates (closing) which their commission is derived from.

They do not have any incentive to be nice to you unless you are placed into that company.

Work directly with the company through your own network and spin the plate with multiple recruiters.

If you don't believe it you could take a look at Recruiter Lies by Joshua Fluke that talks about it in detail.
