Interview Questions for Full-Stack Engineers.?
Dear Full-Stack Engineers, I am currently conducting research on careers in software development at Northcliff High in South Africa and I would like to gain insight into your experience as a Full Stack Engineer. It would be greatly appreciated if you could take some yime out of your day to answer my questions. • What inspired you to become a full stack engineer? • At what point in your life did you learn how to code? • What are the best things about being a full stack engineer? • How did you learn how to code? • What programming languages do you use primarily? • Do you work from home? • On average, how many hours do you spend working in a week? • What characteristics does one need to become a full stack engineer? • Do you work independently or with a team? • How do you handle deadlines and tackle unexpected issues?
What do employers look for in hiring software engineers?
I'm a rising third-year college student majoring in computer science and consider a possible career in software development. But I also heard that this pathway is very competitive, and thousands of applicants compete for limited amount of positions. I wonder in this case, what employers would look for and how they distinguish between so many applicants. I know that technical projects on resumes, OAs, interviews are all important, but wonder which part an applicant should focus the most on? How important are cover letters? What makes one applicant hired and another not hired? I guess this question applies to both internship and full-time jobs. Thanks! :)
