importance of soft skills and hiring w/ jm huret
guest: jm huret, head of software engineering for vaco built
- show genuine interest in life outside work during interviews since it signals comfort connecting as a real person
- expect interviews to mirror day to day work instead of grilling candidates with algorithms they will never use
- prepare notes or a written summary of your projects before talking to recruiters so you can speak clearly under pressure
- when you lack experience in something, explain how you approached a similar problem rather than giving a flat no
- pay attention early in your career to whether you actually enjoy the work itself, not just the money it can bring
