Jick Magger posted:This thread could not have come at a better time. I just graduated with a CS degree, and I'm going through the process of getting me resume spruced up. I'm absolutely terrified, but excited because I'll (hopefully) get to do something besides IT crap now. Books are your friend. Cormen, et al. is usually the standard for algorithms classes ( http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Third-Thomas-Cormen/dp/0262033844/ ) but I also liked this one and found it explained some things more clearly: ( http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Foundations-Analysis-Internet/dp/0471383651/ )

Jick Magger posted:Oh yeah, like the algorithms book I used for that class... I forget that I have those sometimes Hey, at least you passed the test of not selling relevant textbooks back to the bookstore for their relative value as campfire fuel.

FamDav posted:I suppose if you want a has-a-pulse test, reversing a string isn't the worst. Realistically you'd give them something more involved as a weeder. It's good to use warm-up questions. They help raise the candidate's confidence so that they're ready to think clearly for the next question and weed out a few bozos as a bonus.

shrughes posted:The fact that he'd say he improved the performance of something by 14% is a horrible sign, to me. Why would you bother going through such development effort for such a small gain, on the server side? There are plenty of places at large scale where a 14% performance improvement isn't just worthwhile, it's huge, and on a critical path where the low hanging optimization fruit has already been picked it can be quite impressive. "Tell me more about this" would be a likely interview question.

Anyone who says they have "high familiarity with C++" on a resume has just painted a gigantic target on their forehead. You'd better be able to back that up. Interviewers from the big names love running candidates who claim to really know C++ through the gauntlet.
