Finding your new role as a software developer

Finding your new role as a software developer

Unless you've recently relocated to the underside of a rock or the insides of a cave, you don't have to be reminded that much of the economy is in a dire state. Although Wall Street is back on its feet, and the dwindling population of "haves" is back to their indulgent spending, most of America is left in a more sorry state. Many citizens did not make it through the recession with their job intact.

They must now return to a job market that some thought they would never have to search through again. Not having a job, and then having difficulty finding a new one, does not excuse you from the demands of every day existence. The bills do not stop coming, the pantry does not fill itself with food, and gasoline does not start bubbling out of that hole in the ground in your backyard. At least not mine anyway.

So once you do land the interview for that much needed software developer job, it's crucial that you do everything in your power to ensure success. While no one will deny the intimidation or nerves that an interview can bring, especially one for a job you want so desperately, it's crucial to get such nerves in order before the actual meeting. Being confident will make that happen. Being prepared will supply that confidence. Leave a good chunk of time to get dressed and primped for your interview. First impressions count, and how well you are put together will influence the quality of the one you make. If you have never been to the location where your interview will take place, familiarize yourself with the route or at least make sure you understand the directions clearly.

Once you are comfortable with your destination, make time to get there early. In fact, be early getting there early. The more time you have to adapt to your surroundings and mentally review the upcoming interview, the better. While all employers are different, many are looking for similar characteristics: loyal, hard working, trust worthy and competent to name a few. Decide on which of your characteristics and skills you think would be most beneficial to the employer, and highlight those consistently. Being prepared about how to answer questions about yourself, you're past, and any possible future working for the employer exhibits confidence and an ability to think well on your feet. Be confident in your interview! Although a bit of a clich, it does not make it any less important and impressive to employers. They want to know they can hire someone capable and secure. Be the person they want!
