SPECIAL YEAR END EVENT! Ace your next whiteboard interview after a session with a Facebook Engineer! Join us for a whiteboard coding interview workshop! Seats are limited to the first 30 people through the door, RSVP to ensure entry!
As a Software Developer, you will almost always have to do a Coding Interview in front of a panel of tech recruiters to test your technical and coding knowledge. You will be asked to solve a problem by writing code on a whiteboard and articulating your thoughts out loud, while they observe your process, methodology, and reasoning. It can be intimidating and nerve-wracking, even for the best of the best, and we all know how it can feel, before, during, and after.
We have the unique pleasure of welcoming our surprise keynote speaker Murtadha Al-Tameemi, a Software Engineer at Facebook, who is flying in all the way from San Francisco to run this workshop and share some important tricks and tips with our community. This is a special workshop you do not want to miss! Join us for an interactive session to learn how to perform at your best during whiteboarding and nail that coding interview. This workshop will draw from his wealth of experience interviewing candidates applying to work at Facebook, and will offer you insights into the data points an interviewer is looking for when evaluating a candidate. Be prepared to participate and ask those burning questions!
WIN FUN PRIZES DURING OUR EVENT:
There will be some surprise quiz at the end, the quickest person with the correct answer will receive a Facebook Developer Circle Vancouver branded t-shirt!
Don't forget to join our Facebook group and Facebook page to stay tuned in for all future happenings, and gain access to many free resources to come!
Murtadha is originally from Baghdad, he graduated from Computer Engineering at UBC before joining Facebook at the age of 20, and has since performed interviews to prospective Facebook software developers. At Facebook, he has worked on many projects including Internet.org, which is a Facebook-led initiative with the goal of bringing internet access and the benefits of connectivity to the portion of the world that doesn‘t have them.
In this role, he has traveled to many developing countries and continues to fuel his passion about efforts that aim to empower emerging developers and entrepreneurs around the world. He is a renowned keynote speaker on Coding Interview and is frequently invited around the world, from Istanbul to Nairobi, to speak on the subject and elevate developers worldwide.
