Thanks very much to everybody who's posted here on this subject. I wrote an article compiling tips found on this forum, plus answers after I posted a query.

I'm not allowed to post links, since I haven't posted the minimum amount required for that privilege, but if you Google HP Input Output, you'll find the site. Once on the site, search for "Interview Tips for Techie-Aspies."

I welcome your feedback.

Thanks again!

Amazing article. This seems that most of the content from this site.

Quote:
15. Beware of your voice tone. One Aspie who wanted to get into IT found interviews kept going bad due to his not showing enthusiasm, sounding too quiet, or getting turned off by jobs that had an unwelcome emphasis on social interaction, working too quickly, or working without the safe framework of a regime. It can be very helpful to role-play with somebody who can critique your performance before you have to do it live with an interviewer.


Like this above, I remember writing something very closely along those lines, coincidence? Eh... at least reference the source, cite and reference the threads used at least. :roll:

Sorry, I thought I got all my citations. Could you point me to the place where you wrote this? I'll fix the article.

Thanks for pointing it out.
