Answers


Good question. I can relate.
Some of my interviews gave me a tough time especially if they were big companies. You can check out these steps, they will definitely help:
- Learn as much as you can about the company
- Know more about the job description
- Practice interview questions
- Ask the interviewer some questions to show your interest in the company
- Dress appropriately
- Don't get to the venue late
- Be positive and confident
I wish you success in your next interview


Before you go for the interview,make sure you make enquire about the company goals and objectives. Dress appropriate and before you answer any question, think deeply within few seconds before answering those questions.
I wish you best of luck.


The main thing is to relax and be you! Prepare your energy, prepare for the most commom questions.
What are your strenghts and what are your weakness?
Ask questions, research the company.
Tell the Interviewer what you can bring to the table.
Make sure the company is the atmosphere you are prepared to be. This helps with your decision making.
The right one will not over pass you.
Best of luck on your highest best opportunity.


Simply.. talk to the interviewer as what they want not what you want, expect what they may ask you and practice the answers, so you can be confident
Smile as much as can, because its the best impression you can give
I enter each interview the same way thinking they already are interested, all I have to do is convince them. Your qualifications have already sold your ability, now they want to meet the person. I've been interviewed and done interviews, and at the interview stage it's 9 times out of 10 more about fitting in with the team over qualifications. If you weren't qualified, you wouldn't be in the interview. So be yourself. If you are not hired, it's not bad. You probably would not have been happy in the position if your personality didn't fit with the rest of the group anyway! Good luck!
fist of all do not stress about it, prepare for the usual interview questions, make sure to read about the company you're applying for and have enough knowledge about it, dress properly, be on time, answerer the questions confidently and do not hesitate to ask them a question. wish you all the best


I'd like to start by asking you what your usual method of going into a interview is? What was the most successful interview you've taken part of, or have you ever asked for feedback on why you weren't chosen for a position after the interview rounds commenced? This will help you determine where your over all focus needs to be from a place that is authentic and true to your strengths and weaknesses. I have over five years experience walking through particular interview planning processes with mentee's of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels so I would be more than happy to go through the comprehensive plan with you. Feel free to be in touch and we'll make sure that your next interview is your next success story!

How can I get interviews with professional soccer players in MLS? Or coaches, staff, etc. for a podcast?
Ask them! If you don't have any similar interviews yet, get some done in a niche close to this one. Credibility is important, and if you show you've done some and they listen to just part of one interview, that can be what pushes them over the edge. Everyone likes to talk about themselves. So don't be afraid to make the connection. I work with a local pro soccer team and it was easy to connect with a senior management team member. From there, the players are all accessible. They're just regular guys, running around and wanting to have a good time. You could find the marketing director and ask who's the best talker of the bunch. Be sure to let them know they get to use the content as well. The teams are looking for reasons to be in the news. You're giving them one. Something they can share on their Facebook page, or in an email to their fans, that helps their followers feel closer to the team, is valuable. Don't get stuck thinking you're trying to "get" something from them. You're giving something, too.

I've already applied for a "dream job". They are forward-thinking and advertise their culture and distributed team.
What can I do now to stand out?
You need to show them that you can solve their problems. The #1 mistake made by most applicants is that they keep talking about themselves: "here are my skills, here's what I've done, etc..." Instead of talking about yourself, talk about them: "You need someone who can jump right in; someone who can start working without making mistakes. You also don't have a lot of time for training. I can get started right away." This is going to require some research. Follow the founders / managers on Twitter. Read their blog posts. Scan their error logs (if they're public). Find out where you're *needed* and highlight that. Generally it's best to do this during the application process. If you've already sent in a cover letter and resume, it doesn't hurt to send a follow-up email that says: "I've been doing some research, and I think I've found some places I could be helpful."

Evaluating Co-Founders, How did you do it?
You have to be careful on selecting your co-founder. I know it's an already cliché to mention it, but selecting one is like selecting a spouse to marry. You need to know the person first, and even some investors and accelerators dismiss automatically startups because the founders didn't meet before working together in the startup. If you're doing a tech startup, the co-founder should have a technical background if you don't have it. That will save you a lot of money when you're bootstrapping as well as making sure you deploy a great product as soon as possible. Once you want to work with someone, my best advice is to hire them to do a project or a task inside the startup. More than words, you need to see them in action and that way you can evaluate your chemistry as a team. When you already worked the details and decided to create a startup together, you need to be smart about the plans. You need to sign a partnership agreement and put the equity in a vesting option. In Silicon Valley, the standard vesting period is 4 years with a one year cliff. After one year, the founders fully own of the 25% of their shares. That means if they leave the company before the first year, they will not have equity in the company. Having all that in mind, I think it will help you select the best co-founder possible and also be a better bet to investors if you ever decide to raise money. I hope it helps!

Where is the best place to recruit Ruby developers?
If you're looking for Ruby folks, go where they go - local meetups. Second would be online but you will need to mine Stackoverflow, Github and similar sites and realize that they get approached regularly so start engaging early (at least 3 months before projected start date.)

Specific Tactics to find a co-founder, Do you have what it takes? (ONLY real Startup founders answer please)
Here's what you need to do to recruit any cofounder: 1) Prove or at least instill *high* confidence that you can fund the business or raise the funds required; 2) Demonstrate that you are someone worth following. What have you done previously that clearly shows to others that you have what it takes to succeed? 3) Credibly demonstrate that your idea can create massive success. An idea by itself, no matter how interesting is woefully insufficient. 4) Spend every day making outreach (cold emails, LinkedIn, dribbble, etc) to people, meeting at least 3 a week. You will "kiss many frogs." It's likely you have to meet at least 100 people to find the right person and that assumes you have 1-3. By the way, in order to actually *meet* 100 good people, you'll have to make outbound to at least 400 people. 5) Negotiate equity and compensation (pre and post funding) and ensure written alignment on how decisions are made between the two of you. Cofounder relationships are as intense as marriages. And just like getting married, it requires a lot of dating to build the trust. I'm *totally* unconvinced that two people can find a person they haven't known previously, and become effective cofounders. I think you're better off finding the money to hire someone than actually find a cofounder. The main reason? You probably won't find someone as passionate as you are about what you're building. And keep in mind, I have no idea who you are or what you're building so that's no judgement on you or the idea, just the reality I've observed over 20 years of startups.
