I've conducted a lot of interviews. In my 23 yr career I've done on avg 10 a year. Early last year I was in Yahoo's hiring war-room and did more than I care to remember.

All that to say; I'd love to conduct a few mock interviews with you. My contact info is in my profile.

Do it. Contact me. Seriously.

Edit: this offer extends to anyone that wants help. I am a front-end engineer so that means you'll get more mileage out of me for JS, CSS, and HTML; but I am totally willing to help with the subjective side to interviewing as well.

Thank you for doing this. You've improved my impression of humanity today, and inspired me to do the same.

(And you also, papercruncher)

As someone who does 8 interviews a day and loves to help candidates understand what they did wrong and how they can improve; this is really, really nice of you.

Did you mean "on avg 10 a [month]" ? 230 over a 23-year career doesn't seem like all that many.

[grrowl]

Maybe not heaps, but consider you won't hire at entry-level, and unless you beeline straight into management you're unlikely to be conducting anywhere near 10 a month, ever.

That doesn't agree with my (somewhat limited) experience at all. I don't know if my experience is atypical or yours is, though.

I interviewed more people than that per year while I worked at Google, and I'm doing even more now that I'm at a smaller company.

As a software engineer you are doing more than two interviews a week on avg?

I've worked at small places, where we might only hire 5 people a year; and larger places which were large enough to leave it to the leads (engineer-managers overseeing 20 working engineers)
