Candidate Guide

• Relax. This is not a one sided interview.

• The interviewer will help you along.

• Treat the interviewer as if he/she is your potential teammate.

• You don’t need to solve the problem by yourself. If you get stuck ask for help.

• Discuss possible ideas. Don’t keep them to yourself. Think out loud.

• Say why you do certain things. For example

  “In my experience, I’ve found it pattern X more useful than pattern Y for this scenario” “I tend to write my unit tests in a BDD style, hope you don’t mind”

• Listen to what the interviewer says. They maybe offering hints on the correct path to take.

• Take small steps. You should always be able to get to a green state quickly.

• Stick to the red, green and refactor steps.

• Focus on solving the problem with your potential teammate, instead of showing how awesome your implementation is.
