Well I had my interview on Wednesday. I think the actual interview went pretty well. Lots of general questions about OOP, web services, databases, scaling, testing.
Unfortunately the coding exercise didn't go so well. It was a task to assess my skills, no algorithms. Didn't get a great deal of it done, definitely made some mistakes and by brain just seemed to stop working. Half an hour went so quick too.
So wait and see now I guess.
I found out today I got the job. Gonna be working for the DVLA on their cloud based systems.
Hoorah!
:-{) (beer) (cheer)
weeeeeyyyyyy. Well done. Is this your first coding job? I seem to remember you learning all this in your spare time while doing kitchen fitting or something. Good work!
Thanks. Yeah, still doing the kitchens, although not for long. It'll be my first coding job, yeah. Can't wait.
Genuinely very happy for you. And very impressed you've taken the leap, gone back in to education and found a job that you feel will be more worthwhile.
Thanks Ant. And everyone else. Yeah, best thing I did was apply for the part time degree. Was starting to think I wasn't getting anywhere doing it on my own.
Just need to pass some security checks then I'll be a software engineer :D
