I had scheduled the test for June 14 for AWS Certified Developer – Associate.   I need to stop studying the Network information and finish studying for the developer exam.    I had completed the   https://acloud.guru/ course on Sunday.      I decided to purchase  AWS Certified Developer - Associate Guide: Your one-stop solution to passing the AWS developer’s certification

The book was good, it covers all the major topics for the associate developer certification, but it lacks hands-on lab and there are several errors in the mock exams.

The number one problem with interviewers, recruiters, etc is the lack of follow-up.   I refer to it as ghosting.   At least have the curiosity to reach out even via email and say, thank you, but you’re not a fit.

Why do people ask about are you ok with a manager title?    If you were a VP or director and now applying for a manager position.    Do they really not think you can’t read the job title?     I took time to apply for this position, research the company and prep for the phone call and this is the first question you’re going to ask me, is do I understand this is a manager position.   Argh!   Assume if I applied for the position there was something which interests me, ask me why this position?

This has happened a few times recently

1. _Have you ever been in an interview and half way thru are you thinking, does this person want to report to me or be the manager instead? _Decide this before you start interviewing people.   It’s a waste of time.

2. _Have you ever been in an interview and half way thru you are thinking there is no way I want to manage this person?   _Why would a company have this person interview you, are they trying to scare you away.

Best Technical Interview questions so far…

1. What is callback hell in Javascript?     First I don’t know if you’re a good programmer why you’d even need to know what this is.

2. _What is the difference between inheritance in Python and Java?     _Python natively supports multiple inheritances, whereas Java  Class B would extend Class A,  and could Class C extend class B.

3. How does a bash shell work? 

4. _When to use swap and when not to use swap?    _Ugh, the answer is it depends on the application.
