Hi all,
I hoped I could get some thoughts to help me out here,
I have got an job interview for a development job in a couple of days and
the company in question have requested I:
'bring with you any samples of your work that you consider relevant and that
you would like to review with us'
Do you think I should bring source code?
Should I bring functioning product (difficult without data!)?
If source code is enough, should I take it on paper, or do I need to take a
laptop, power it up, and show an IDE with my code in it?
I have tried asking the company, but they just said I should do what I feel
necessary. To me, that should be to show a working system, with code to
back it up, but I don't think I can because of data restrictions, and a
whole program would be huge...!
Needless to say, I need the job, so I have to work out what is my best
approach. At present my thoughts are I will use print outs and take the
Laptop to show code in an IDE if absolutely required.
Any helpful ideas anyone?
Dominic
