This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:

1. Upper management has a negative impression of me because of an early manager. How do I manage and improve my reputation with mid and upper level management, who I interact with very rarely?
2. I have a job offer I feel unqualified for. Should I decline this offer I honestly don’t deserve, or face a massive amount of impostor syndrome and risk not delivering?

This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:

1. How do I deal with co-workers who constantly cite the decisions of engineers who don’t work here anymore?
2. My employment makes it sound like the company owns my past work and side-projects. Is this true? Is this normal?

This week Jamison and Dave answer these questions:

1. How do you dress for interviews? Full on informal beach bum? Smart casual? Formal suit tie?
2. I’m a new developer and have been asked to interview incoming developers. How do I learn how to interview?

This is the NoRedInk interview process. This is the blog post Jamison likes on getting data out of the technical portion of the interview. This is a slightly pessimistic look at pitfalls in the standard interview process. Google wrote a great article about structured interviewing that might also be helpful.
