tips from a former apple hiring manager
guest: tiago ghisi, former apple hiring manager, engineering director
- interview every year even when you are happy in your current job so you are ready for great opportunities
- ask a connection inside a company to submit you as a referral but write your own recommendation for them to use
- avoid wasting referral energy on a generic resume and instead write specific points on why you are above the bar for the role
- prepare a bank of star method stories ahead of time so you are not caught off guard in behavior interviews
- practice system design interviews with time boxing so you do not get stuck on one section like data design and run out of time
