As someone who has interviewed many developers, I can tell you that I know when you’re fake laughing. But I don’t care. I know many of the best developers are extreme introverts. During an interview they’re about as comfortable as they would be if their skin was inside out. I find this discomfort to be indicative of how inwardly focused their mindset typically is. I value such a mindset as it thrives in the minutia of writing and editing code. I seek to put them at ease enough that they can be themselves and nerd out with me about a topic they truly find interesting. Not as a test, but to help them get comfortable enough to reveal their brand of genius. If I can’t do that, I’m not very good at managing people. I’m probably rushing through the interview too focused on their technical skillset, and not focusing enough on how we might enjoy working together daily. I’m sharing this so that you, job seeker, can understand that a good manager looks past your nerves and awkward laughter and sees your talented and true self. You’re not just being evaluated, you’re also sizing them up. Do you want to work with people that make you feel awkward and small? Or in an environment where you leave the meeting feeling ten feet tall? You’ll do your worst work in the former and your best work in the latter, so this matters a lot. Managers, I know you hear a lot of nervous laughter in interviews. How much you care about cutting through the veneer and empowering the candidate in that moment says a lot about you and your company. Job seekers, pay attention to whether you feel like you’ll be able to bring your full and authentic self to the table in this role. Ask bold questions and test to see if your perspective would be valued or minimized. In my experience, nothing matters as much to your professional success as being comfortably yourself, empowered in moments of stress, and truly listened to by upper management. Happy hunting! 🐰
