I've interviewed with Google, Apple, and Microsoft. It always strikes me that the questions they ask you during interviews are not at all representative of what you need to be able to do on the job. That's why these course materials are incredibly valuable.

You have a better shot at these types of interviews coming straight out of college than you do after X years of job experience. The interviewing mindset is very different from the working mindset. If you want to do well, you should study these PDFs for a few weeks (repetition is the mother of learning) before your interviews. I did exactly that before my last round of interviews, and it made a huge difference.

I didn't post them on HN because, honestly, I don't want them to be too publicized. These are the exact questions that you will be asked at these types of interviews. It's borderline cheating.

Man, you can do good at copy-writing. Actually, I found your reply quite appealing and it follows some guidelines of lots of copy-writing books that I'm trying to read these days. But,anyway, thanks for sharing.

Agree that the comment was good, what guidelines are you thinking of?
