interview practice

I've done enough interviews over the last few years to learn that you can never practice for them too much. But I rarely spend time thinking about broader professional questions while I have a job. When I'm employed, I'm usually in one of two modes: impossibly overworked with no time for training, or deliriously enjoying pure non-work fun during a slow down.

However, since I've been thinking about starting a job hunt, it seems reasonable to put in some preparation. I'll use this page to post links to resources that I'm finding handy.

• five essential phone screen questions by Steve Yegge. These great questions are motivated from the interviewer's side of things.
• get that job at google by Steve Yegge, again. This blog post discusses interview preparation for a broad range of questions. What he describes would take months or possibly years to get through if you didn't already have a CS degree. But it helps to know what to expect and cram as much of this as possible.
