Subject: Technical Interview Workshop
 

Hi All,


We are hosting a technical interview workshop held by an SFU alumni who is currently working as a Software Engineer at YouTube.


This is a great opportunity for people who are interested in seeing what a technical interview is like for potential co-op and full-time positions.


It will consist of an intro, practice interview then a question period.


Since this is a technical interview workshop it will be focusing on questions similar to those found onhttps://leetcode.com/. Technical interviews can be found as parts of interviews for positions like "Software Developer" and "Software Engineer" among other roles. They consist of programming problems and problem solving to create a solution, expecting you to walk the interviewer through your logic on your way to a solution.


Location: Zoom https://sfu.zoom.us/j/66052404466?pwd=NWJxK21FbUkxbGVUL2E5QjdML3ZTQT09 (Meeting ID: 660 5240 4466 | Password: 989631)

Date/Time: Friday February 25th 2022 5:00PM - 6:30PM


Since this workshop will consist of a technical interview simulation, we would like to get a volunteer interested in being interviewed. It'll be good practice for an interview without the stakes of a job on the table.

If you are interested in being the interviewee, please fill out this websurvey ASAP! If you are selected we will get back to you.
