Job Hunting 101 for Coding Bootcamp Graduates

First off, really well written article. You're absolutely right in that it's a different market now than it was in 2013, when everybody with 'Full Stack' in their profile was getting hired.

Second, having hired a few bootcampers myself, I think it's definitely possible for someone to come in to a technical organization with limited experience. They just have to be willing to contribute as much as they can wherever they can.

Thanks sponnapa90! I completely agree. It's so important to have a go-getter attitude when joining an organization as an individual contributor. That goes for CS grads, too!

How can you tell during an interview if they have the willingness to contribute?

Hah. Probably just attitude. Some people exude the desire to remain detached from work. At least in my experience :p

I'm thinking more data-centric, though... curious if there are less subjective ways like best-practice questions to ask, etc.
