interviewer tip

The best way I've found to interview candidate developers is to pair program with them to do real work on the actual code of the project that is hiring. If not possible, give programming exercise which is:

The exercise must involve working with current development tools.
The exercise must require the candidate to apply important features of the language.
The exercise must involve understanding and working with existing code.
The exercise must involve error handling.
The exercise must involve testing.
The exercise must offer scope for domain modelling.
The exercise must involve asking questions.
The exercise must be realistic.
The exercise must involve changing requirements.
The exercise must offer the candidate enough rope to hang themselves.
The exercise must test many different skills and practices.

1) Define your value in advance of the interview. What actions did I take that affected the project? How do I describe the details of those actions in a way that helps articulate the value of how I worked?
2) Create these stories by asking yourself several questions. See if you can relate the answers to cost, schedule, or customer experience. Why? Because that’s what management cares about.
3) Never lie. Never. Never.
4) Use this value to create the stories of how you worked.
5) In the interview, answer every question as if it is a behavior-description question.
6) Do not assume the interviewer knows what you mean. Especially explain your project management approach.

積極思考能夠緩解壓力，這一點毫不令人意外。不過明尼蘇達大學卡爾森管理學院工作及組織學教授、該報告的作者之一格隆布(Theresa Glomb)說，事實證明，積極正面的思考可能比用人單位目前采取的很多抗擊工作壓力的方法都更實用，這些方法包括提供靈活的工作安排或創建新的組織結構圖，而這實際上并沒有改變辦公室的日常生活。

寫下一天中發生的好事本身就很有價值，但格隆布說，真正的影響來自寫下為何這些事會讓你感覺良好。這樣做會凸顯出一個人在工作生活中獲得的資源和支持，比如技能、幽默感、讓你感到鼓舞的家人、或是一個富有同情心的老板。 - http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20130909/eoe073851.asp?source=rss
