I made an account on Revature to teach myself coding and I got a call from a recruiter the day after. First was the phone screening where they asked me about any of my experience with coding, of which I have little besides starting a project on their site. She also asked for my school background (a bachelor's in psych) and whether I was okay with relocating anywhere in the US. She then said she'd send me an aptitude test and a job description through email. I didn't receive them, so I called back, and I was sent the aptitude test only. It was a series of 35 riddle/logic questions with an hour timer. I had seen maybe half of those types of questions before and knew how to answer roughly half, but the others took a great bit of time for me to figure out on paper. I was called that night by my recruiter and told I did very well and asked me for any times I was free to do a video call through HireVue. I had the video interview with a woman that had a very thick accent...She was cordial and professional. However, I gave a lot of stupid answers because I had to ask her multiple times to repeat herself and I could only really parse out what she was asking for a few of the questions. I will say, however, that the website is very well designed and easy to use, and I will continue to use it to teach myself how to code.

Completed unpaid training program successfully and was placed on a waitlist for payed training. The unpaid program focused on full stack Java development and lasted for around 3 months. The final exam was based on the topics and assesments covered in the program.
