# Graduation Interview with the HYF team

To graduate from HackYourFuture, you will have to pass a soft-skills graduation interview as well as a technical interview with the HYF team. In this repo we will give you information so that you can be prepared well in advance:

#PART 1: The soft-skills graduation interview:

During this 20 minute conversation, the HYF team will interview you as if you were applying for a junior web developer role at “The HackYourFuture Company” (See job description here).

Think of this assessment as an actual interview for a real job with us, where the interviewer can ask you basically any questions. The goal behind this is to assess if you are ready for real interviews and if not, make a plan with you to improve these crucial skills as soon as possible.

## Some of the questions we could ask you during the interview are (not limited to):
- Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
- Why have you decided to become a web developer after working as a...?
- Why do you want to work at HackYourFuture?
- What makes YOU a good developer?
- What is important for YOU in a job?
- What are your strengths? And your weaknesses?
- What part of web development do you think is the most difficult?
- Can you tell us about...a challenge you’ve faced at work and how you overcame it? / A time you worked on a team? / A time you solved a problem?

## To assess if you are ready to pass this exercise, we will look at the following:
- Is it a good conversation and do you make good use of language?
- Do you use storytelling and STAR stories to back up your statements with real examples?
- Do you use information from the company you are applying to (Mission, Vision, Values, News, etc), to show you’ve done your research and are motivated for the job?
- Do you have good questions ready for the interviewer?
- Is your CV 100% complete? (Following the CV guidelines, with at least 3 good projects added including the graduation one, no typos, good format, etc)

## To prepare for this interview, you should:
- Revise the Interview Preparation repo on GitHub and have your answers to the most common interview questions ready and perfected.
- Revise all the feedback you received during your interviews at Adyen (to not make the same mistakes and actually improve on them).
- Research the job description, the company (in this case HYF) and have great STAR stories, examples and questions ready for our talk.
- Be sure your CV is 100% finished.
- Practice, practice, practice!

After the interview, the HYF team will let you know if you passed the assessment or not. If you did, congratulations! If you didn’t, this is just an indication that you will need to work a bit more before we can graduate you and introduce you to companies. Think of it as an opportunity to improve your skills but now with more time given that there is no homework and the graduation project should be almost done.

# PART 2: The technical graduation interview:
