Software Developer Interview Experience - Ottawa, Canada
Process
I met my interviewer on campus during a networking event. I had already applied to a number of IBM positions before the event and wrote down all their respective Job IDs to see if the hiring manager for those positions happened to be at the networking event.
One IBM rep was there, but for a position I hadn't already applied for. He gave me the Job ID for the positions he was currently hiring.
After applying to that position, I got an interview a couple of days later. The interview was for an entry-level software dev position focusing on web dev.
The interview was mainly just going over my resume, which consisted of only personal programming projects and websites I had built voluntarily. I didn't have any coding challenges or problems to solve, just general knowledge questions regarding general OOP.
