probably not going to get serious answers here but im a computing technology graduate from the UK. had a graduate job as a microsoft dynamics crm analyst for a few months which i had to quit cause i was being bullied at work by the CTO (chief technical officer) cause it was a small business, the M/D was his big brother so i was kinda fucked.
i've always wanted a developer role but im not industry level good to be one.
got called up for an interview today for a junior automation developer and tbh im in need of a job as finances are starting to run low (especially with a GF) so im getting desperate.
if anyone has ever done a java technical interview with a whiteboard session (for problem solving) then can someone give me some advice
i just feel like i can do technical interviews as there is so much to a language to cover. im a bit of a polyglot developer as in i know alot of languages but cant focus in one. if i had a preference then i would like to become a BI analyst.
been to a few interviews just to hear "not enough experience" but its catch 22, how can i get experience without been given a chance. its fucking shit.
been without a job for 3 weeks now and im starting to get really depressed as in impatient. applied to nearly 200 jobs to just hear back from 4 or 5.
would like some serious advice if possible. here is the job spec of the upcmoming interview which i don't know if i will go or not.
also forgot to mention this place where the job is , is about 60 miles from where i live so to buy a train pass to travel there and back annually is around 7k usd.
