I've been doing Javascript for a few years and recently answered a few StackOverflow questions. One was regarding "this".If anyone wants to hire my ass feel free to contact me. One of my techniques for learning has been by going on interviews and flopping, then going back and learning all the interview question material on my own time. Wash and repeat.I've been doing this bullshit since the first day I started teaching myself. It all began with an interview that required knowledge of strictly HTML & CSS. Suffice to say after I tried to mimic an unordered list with 12 div blocks I didn't get the gig. Things are better now. I promise! Where am I? Whats this padded wall doing here? !!!!

If you're looking, we are still hiring for a third position (we've been on a bit of a binge lately with hiring). http://agency.governmentjobs.com/washington/default.cfm?acti...

I found this heartening. I've recently transitioned from Mechanical Engineering to Web Dev and am beginning to interview. Just had my first interview, and I feel like everything discussed made me better.

I literally make an ass out of myself half the time. Feel free to join in. You're not alone.

This is a great, great idea. Thank you for the tip.

It only works if you have a shit ton of humility. The problem is there is really no other way I've found to acclimate oneself with the assumptions and culture of the discipline in a manner that is real-world and cuts through the small talk/cruft .

Your welcome btw...have fun :/
