Episode 496: Passing non-technical interviews and my internship with only other interns

This episode of Soft Skills Engineering addresses listener questions about navigating job interviews at larger tech companies and dealing with a questionable internship experience. The hosts advise those accustomed to casual startup interviews to practice using the STAR method (Situation, Action, Result) to structure their answers in larger companies' more formal behavioral interviews. They also suggest using AI tools for practice, but caution against relying on them for detailed feedback. Regarding the internship question, the speakers strongly recommend leaving the unpaid position at a non-profit run by a potentially scandalous founder, emphasizing that the experience is unlikely to benefit future job prospects and could harm the listener's reputation.
