Portland Linux/Unix Group Advanced Topics Meeting Announcement

Who: Joe Hammond
What: Tech Interviews!
Where: Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland (Left Entrance)
When: Tuesday, June 19th, 2012 at 7pm
Why: The pursuit of awesome, open technologies.

More terrifying than Verilog Synthesis... More stressful than a drive 
failure... More harrowing than an office move...The Tech Interview!

You sent out 500 resumes and you finally get that call for an interview. 
  What now?

How do you effectively present your skills and experience?

How do you make yourself stand out from the other candidates?

How do you answer the three most important interview questions?

Tell me about yourself?

Why should we hire you?

What are you looking for in your next position?

How can you judge how well you are doing in an interview?

How do you address possible Hiring Manager concerns, and make them feel 
better about them?

How do you move the process forward?


Joe Hammond is a recruiter at VanderHouwen & Associates, Inc. 
(http://www.vanderhouwen.com) who has seen the good, the bad and the 
ugly of tech interviews and has been coaching tech applicants for years.

Many will break for the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne afterwards.
