Interviewer (Tech Recruiter): Hi there! Thanks for joining the interview today. Let’s start with the classic question—tell me about yourself.
Developer: Sure! I’m a seasoned developer with over 20 years of experience in PHP, C#, and Node.js. I’ve worked on everything from enterprise web applications to scalable backend systems. I’ve always enjoyed solving tough technical challenges and building clean, maintainable code.
Interviewer: Impressive background! How much experience do you have with Claude AI?
Developer: Um, to be honest, I don’t have any experience with Claude AI.
Interviewer: Okay, no worries. Have you used any other AI tools in your development work?
Developer: Not yet. My career has been mostly centered around traditional software engineering. I’ve been aware of the AI boom, but I haven’t had a chance to explore it hands-on.
Interviewer: I see. Well, this particular role requires at least five years of experience with Claude AI or similar AI technologies.
Developer: (chuckles) Sounds like I might be a bit too old school for this one.
Interviewer: (smiles) It happens. Technology moves fast, and even great developers can miss some trends. But your background is still very valuable, especially in large-scale backend systems.
Developer: Thanks. I’ve been meaning to dive into AI—maybe start with OpenAI APIs or smaller projects.
Interviewer: That’s a great approach. You’ve got the foundation—just layering in AI knowledge could open a lot of doors.
Developer: I appreciate the advice. I’ll definitely start exploring.
Interviewer: Please do! And I’ll keep your info on hand. We may have future roles that better align with your strengths.
Developer: Sounds good. Thanks for the conversation—it’s been helpful.
Interviewer: Absolutely. Best of luck, and take care!
