A quick acne update: No bad breakouts since my declaration of hate for my skin on twitter. I guess my skin heard me. <\/p>\n
I did buy the Clarisonic brush off of ebay. I’ve been using it since Sunday. My well behaved skin seems to have more to do with the weather than the brush, but I have seen positive results already. I’ll let you know how it goes.<\/p>\n
I spent a good amount of time the past couple of weeks doing technical interviews for the MATREX program and interns. I won’t write about the interviews because I don’t want any of them to stumble upon my blog and feel bad. I will share some good stories via email though if anyone’s interested.<\/p>\n
It was definitely entertaining and very educational. I think the experience will definitely help me with future interviews.<\/p>\n
Some really obvious tips I’d like to share …<\/p>\n
There should be absolutely no spelling or grammatical errors on your resume. Have at least 2 smart people review your resume before you submit it to anyone.<\/p>\n
Please know what’s on your resume. If you put down that you took a database class or a networking class and I ask you a simple question, you should be able to answer it. If you list a project, make sure you have something impressive to say about it. “I was sick the whole time,” is not a good answer.<\/p>\n
If you only took an introductory programming course, you probably don’t really know C++ or Java. At the very least, you should know and understand what object oriented programming is. If you really want to be a developer, take at least one class that involves a big programming project. You pay a lot for your education, take advantage of it.<\/p>\n
It’s OK if you have no idea how to answer a question, but if you have any clue at all, you should still try. This does not mean spitting out random nonsense. Think, then speak.<\/p>\n
Oh, and never<\/a>, EVER<\/a>, suggest using GOTO<\/a>. Return! I was looking for a return statement! It’s a four line function!
