Talk given at Codebar Festival.

If you wish to see my slides in their full glory, they are available on Slideshare.

Last week I went to a jobs event, recruiting for my company. I was there on my own, and recruiting is a pretty new experience for me, so I was kinda excited about it. The attendees were a mix of graduates, bootcampers, and a few more senior developers, but mostly the crowd were looking for their first or second job. I enjoy going out and talking to people about their experiences with software – I think breadth of knowledge is really valuable – so I found it interesting seeing what other people are looking for in a job. I’ve only ever had one; maybe I’ve aimed for all the wrong things!
