Abstract: 

After applying at over 40 companies and participating in more than 110 interviews, I found my role. In this talk, I want to discuss how we can make the interviewing experience better for all parties involved (interviewers, interviewees, hiring managers and recruiters). The session will cover everything from application to offer acceptance and discuss actions we can all take to make SRE hiring better.
