Getting the Job: interview with Dan Crews

  • Are you trying to get into Web Development?
  • Do you have a non-traditional background?
  • Would you like candid advice from a hiring manager about how to get that job?

The latest episode of my podcast posted this morning at 8 AM. In it I interview Dan Crews: hiring manger, principle web developer, and GraphQL architect.

Dan has an atypical background himself. Without a degree or bootcamp, he managed to rise to a position of technical leadership and become a hotly recruited expert in GraphQL.

Listen now:

Web Development is a frustrating profession to define. If it is mentioned in the job description you are applying for, it can still be unclear what the job really is. Listen to Dan’s take on Web Development and why it’s the only profession he can picture himself in.

We also cover how to choose what kind of company you work for first, and what Dan is looking for when he interviews junior talent.


This is season 1 episode 2 of the ManagerJS podcast for students and junior developers.

I’ll publish a transcript at ManagerJS.com before the next episode drops.

I plan on releasing episodes every other Friday.
