[@ComradeOgilvy1984]

If there is something confusing to you about the question, your best bet is to ask questions about the question. It is very common for an interviewee to end up wasting time going in the wrong direction, and putting more pressure on themselves with the effort of re-orienting. Yes, sometimes an interviewer will get annoyed at you for failing to read his or her mind and going straight to the "correct and clever" answer they want, but you were likely doomed anyway and those are people that would be less enjoyable to work with in the long run.

@@kalirocketdev that's a pretty vague question, you shouldn't be expecting anyone to just quickly explain those complex issues to you at once, the only way to get good at anything is to do it a lot but if you're struggling you need to be asking the right questions if you want any useful advice

[@saheedlawal4598]

For some reason this was enlightening especially the question "do you think the way you told your story was the most optimal?"

[@g13n4]

Eventually it transforms into "Let's hear your story but in another language which should suit it much better"

[@fiatlux805]

I'm learning to code and haven't even interviewed yet and STILL found this to be hilarious 😂 great job (even though you didn't get the job)

the "how to tie a tie" instructions on his monitor killed me LOL

[@luisdev7646]

Jokes aside, this really looks like my two programming interviews that i had, so accurate

This was actually one of the best video that describes software engineer interviews

[@thepixeldot9826]

I'm not in the IT sector or industry, but this man is hilarious. Please keep coming up with videos like this. It kind of reminds me of the Matrix scene where Agent Smith first interviews Neo.

[@krisschnee3151]

Heh! My tech job interviews have been alarmingly easy in contrast. The companies asked the "FizzBuzz" question, and basic theory questions like "what's the difference between a class and an object", and barely got into efficiency. Except for one company that wanted to know some tricky multithreading stuff I'd never used outside of a class. The experience suggests that people apply who've got no knowledge at all.

You do a great work dramatizing a recruiter, I was clenching my fist the entire time.

[@kermzyxor]

i have to conduct my first interview tomorrow. thanks for the guide, it's super-helpful!

[@ardnys35]

how did it go

[@frankieboyseje]

joma you nailed the dramatic effect here

[@taku6157]

😂😂😂😂😂 "Without saying a single word", brooooooooo

[@DeJay7]

The ending "what the fuck" had me wheezing bro, that was so well-said I really can't begin explaining why but it was perfect.

[@preshkayili]

The wait for Joma's videos is always worth it😅, amazing stuff😊

[@samsunforev1846]

As I glance at the screen in the background, it's quite reassuring to see that I'm not alone in my quest for a "How to Tie a Tie" tutorials every time I prepare for an interview. 😂😂😂😂

[@dayvie9517]

Just make the interviewer prove that it's possible. Interviews should never be that one-sided.

[@CB-lw7ty]

The level of nonsense that goes on in interviews for any job can be like this, I remember when I was young starting out just trying to get any job, went for a sales position at a small tech company, had all the standard interview questions like "where do you see yourself in 5 years", then as one of the last questions one of the 3 interviewers just went "oh I'd like to ask you something"...then proceeded with some old school riddle about moving animals across a bridge...Like im doing a sales position, you're questioning me on my qualifications and why I think I'd be good here then suddenly im in the riddler's secret lair as if that makes any sense in this situation. If you want me to think on my feet to see how I'd react to a sales call then ask me how I'd deal with a hypothetical roleplay situation, not my ability to on the spot solve a riddle in a pressure situation for a sales job really isn't going to tell you jack about me or my ability to do the role.

[@coreyhaynes7951]

Holy shit I'm scared for coding interviews

[@CrackaSource]

I just did my first software engineer interview, and I was scared shitless. It ended up being a lot of behavioural! Make sure you have projects to reference ahead of time that relate to the job. I also got the job!

it's like when you finished a hard DP coding question and you have couple minutes left, then asked you to do both ways either topdown or bottomup solution

How can you be an interviewer in tech without the Patagonia vest. Point on Joma ! Last year I had around 8-9 company interviews (all big ones) and out of that I had 3 interviews where atleast one of the interviewer had Patagonia

[@userlink-12]

Your acting is frighteningly good, and the story is weirdly relatable

[@aniketverma7232]

Video after video, expectation increases and JOMA never disappoints us :)

[@uuu12343]

The hilarious thing is that...this is still relevant to that job scope than ANY interviews i've been in

[@Skaxarrat]

Funny video: Now do reduce it to 1:02 minutes keeping the same funny-time ratio.

[@DasherDash]

Still better than questions like "iF YOU WerE A GRass, WhERe WOULD You GRoW?"
