Here's an unconventional offer for you guys: I'll be your interviewee punching bag for an hour on Skype and then give you feedback on your interview and company afterwards. Chances are I know nothing about who you are or what you're working on outside of any tech press you've received. But that's a good thing, I'll be like most of your candidates, a tabula rasa.<p>Why? Doing my first interview was an odd mix of trying not to embarrass my company or myself versus trying to form a solid judgment of a potential coworker. I'm not a perfect interviewer now, but I felt much more comfortable after my first 2-3 tries. Startups have to hire sometime and, for many, it will be the first time they've had to conduct an interview. On my end, I'd just like to hear your stories and meet more startup'eers.<p>About Me: IAMA engineer with xp in Java (and other JVM languages), and Javascript/Node, and a dash of Ruby/Python. I presently focus on front-end work bringing a suitable amount of knowledge in design, ux, http, and ajax. I've also been known to fire up a cluster or two thousand. I am not looking for a job.<p>Want to schedule an hour? Email me (in profile).<p>Want to be an interviewer's experiment? Email me and I'll try to hook you up with the flip side. Please tell me a little about your experience so I can matchmake you to someone who is interviewing in that expertise.
