Thanks for applying to be a coding fellow this summer! This document describes the interview process so you know what to expect.

Philosophy

There are a lot of problems with how interviews commonly work in the tech industry. We want to do better. Here are our guiding principles during this interview process:

• Respecting your time - There is a huge power imbalance which often leads to companies wasting applicants' time. We won't ask you to do more than we think is necessary to help us find the right person.
• Evaluating your potential - By definition, coding fellows are inexperienced. We will make sure you have a solid foundational understanding of programming, but the main thing we’re looking for is your ability to learn and grow.
• Building software isn't just about tech - Coding skills matter, but making software is a collaborative effort. We're looking for well-balanced people, not just technical geniuses.
• Transparency - The fellowship doesn't involve surprises, so there's no reason the interview process should. We're going to explain as much as we can about the process and what we're looking for. If you still have questions after reading this, feel free to ask us for more info.

Our interview will be broken down into three steps: An application, a video chat interview, and a final in-person interview.

Application

Key details:

• Time commitment: 10-15 minutes.
• Link to apply: https://www.lessannoyingcrm.com/careers/apply/coding-fellowship
• Deadline: November 15, 2024
• Timeline: The fellowship is meant for people who don't yet have the skills to obtain an internship or job. We encourage everyone to apply for other internships and jobs in addition to the fellowship, giving you the chance to receive and accept other great opportunities. Because of this, we won't continue the application process until after November 15th. Final interviews will be scheduled for January.

We try to keep the application process as simple as possible. We ask you to upload a copy of your resume, if you have one. We’ll also ask you to respond to a written question.
