Questions Asked During Web Developer Interviews

June 20th, 2008 1 comment

So I’ve become familiar with questions that tech companies ask when interviewing candidates for web developer positions in “Silicon Valley” in California. So if you’re interviewing, you should prep yourself for the following interview questions that always seem to come up:

  • What JavaScript libraries have you used? (And for YUI, which seems to be popular, which components have you used?)
  • What’s the difference between “if (a==x)” and “if (a===x)”?
  • Have you developed CSS for different browsers and versions? What are some examples of issues you’ve had? (i.e. box model)
  • How do you keep up on web technology? (books, blogs, etc.)
  • Use this text editor to properly properly markup this form from memory (with XHTML, CSS, JavaScript).
  • Use this text editor to properly properly markup this table from memory (with XHTML).
  • What’s the difference between “visibility:hidden” and “display:none”?
  • What’s the difference between using var inside and outside of a JavaScript function? (or an exercise involving this)
  • How would you write the HTML and CSS for a standard three-column layout with header and footer?

Almost Moved for Job, Twice

December 11th, 2006 No comments

In the last year, I came pretty close to moving out of state for a new day job, to Cleveland then Chicago. The first time was last spring for a long-term contract position in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The contracting company had me all set to go, until they pulled the plug in the last minute because the position suddenly wouldn’t officially be open for a few more weeks. My wife and I had already gone to Cleveland for a weekend to check it out. It’s a pretty cool town, so I’m glad we went anyway.

The second time was more recently as an e-trading company in downtown Chicago telephoned interviewed me, then asked me to come into town to visit. They paid for two hotels nights right in “the loop” which was way cool. Turns out they put the position on hold, which is fine since it would have meant a cost-of-living increase, increase in medical expenses, and moving my family, yikes!

It turns out that I landed a great position in Dearborn, Michigan, which is my hometown. It’s a graphic/web designer position in a department heavy on usability (contract at Ford). Very cool.
