In Silicon Valley I wouldn’t recommend wearing a suit. It’s too unusual, and makes you look “out of it”. And the book idea is interesting, but probably not good. It emphasizes you as a “job seeker”, while the ideal candidate is fresh from another company doing the same stuff.

Thanks for your comments, Jim. Regadring male vs. female: There were only a couple of chances to use gender and I did choose the male gender in those 2 cases because switching mid-paragraph would have been confusing for the reader. If you read any of my other articles I tend to lean more towards the female gender when discussing developers. Regarding your comment on the marketing material, as someone who does a lot of interviewing I would not feel “slimed” by a well-design book of the person’s skills and accomplishments. If the book is a tri-fold brochure thrown together on a BubbleJet it’s likely to do the candidate more harm than good, but there’s nothing “hokey” about spending the time to package yourself well.

From this article, one might assume technical interviews are for men only. Think again! Also, dispensing hokey marketing material in a technical interview is likely to make the hiring manager feel slimed.
