What do recruiters think about the strengths of a software developer
Posted by: Anca Alimanescu In: Career Management
When preparing an interview for a job, it’s good to have an idea of what the recruiters are interested to hear about your work.
Here are some of the answers that some of them gave me.
A1:
- Doing what is needed and add Creativity (there are S/W programmers who finish their project in less than 50% of time.how?)
- Project Deliverables.
- Stick to Time Line, bug/error free coding.
- Assist your peers, their non-performance or issues effects team work.
- Share your stuff, don’t keep than MAGIC coding/idea to yourself – Share the knowledge.
A2:
1) Proven ability to build clean, documented, scalable software.
2) Acknowledged achievement in building a product that was successfully brought to market.
3) Reputation of thinking beyond the technology, and more in terms of how software helps solve a business problem.
A3:
The following are a must:
-Functional without bugs
-Clean code with documentation
-User friendly interfaceGive exactly what the user wants!
A4:
The greatest achievement is to stay one or two steps ahead of the curve with the new releases of your SW language and or tools
A5:
1. Delivering expected results
2. Meeting the deadlines
3. Clear and documented code (so every person that will continue your work will not need to call you)
4. See the big picture not only that of your part (i.e. perfect integration of what you deliver within the project).
