Hello,
Hey, Elixir fam it’s been so long since I last posted here. A lot has to do with the fact that I didn’t get a role in Elixir but instead Ruby on Rails and have been diligently working with a company since then.
However recently a new company reached out to me who are looking to hire Junior Elixir engineers, they pretty much want to translate their current code from Erlang into Elixir
Essential requirements:
• Some familiarity with Erlang/Elixir and a desire to work with it
• Interest in building highly scalable platforms that can process millions of events
• Ability to work independently as a remote Developer.
• Previous contributions to open source
• Strong English communication skills
I have been an active community member, I post topics that I learned on my Linkedin, and create small projects in Elixir on Github. Learn as I go, as well as post on Elixir forums for assistance and learning/growth I feel a bit nervous as I wanted this role for a while, and now it landed on my front step.
Question: What topics Can I talk about that would make me stand out as an engineer during my interview?
Thank You guys

Hear goes the best advice I, as a senior
Elixirdeveloper, can think about: chill out.From my experience you can’t be prepared for everything. One time my application was rejected not because I don’t had required
Elixirskills, but because they found a similar applicant who knows hockey rules - yes, this offer was fromCanada.As long as you have a job (i.e. a stable source of income) you don’t have to worry.. It’s just a matter of time when you would get an
Elixir-based job. Sometimes it’s just really a matter of luck.Unfortunately I also need to say 2 bad things about getting a job:
Looks like all of above matches your case. That’s already a good start!
If none of above would match your case then you should not worry about such job. I don’t mean not to apply, but don’t take it so serious if you are rejected and especially in case:
Well … looks like I was “unlucky” many times as all of above happen to me at least once and I simply learned to “deal with it” - no matter how bad this sounds.
Good luck!

Honestly to me, it sounds like it could be a great learning opportunity
