To be considered for a Data Engineer position at Hedgeye, you must successfully complete these steps **

1. Fork this repository
2. In the why_hire_me directory
   • Add a file cover_letter.txt with cover letter type verbiage.
   • Fill out the questionnaire.txt and commit it
   • Add anything else we should know. For example, one of your preferred development tools (editor, desktop app, etc.) and why you use it.
3. In the simple_collection_process directory, using the programming language / tool of your preference, create a script that collects the following information from the first 6 articles under the "Latest Macro" section on our website here and saves it to a CSV file.
   • Datetime Published
   • Headline
   • If an author exists (only first author):
     • Image Href
     • Name
     • Twitter Handle (leave blank if not present)
   • Content Body HTML
   • Include a copy of the CSV file generated from your run
   • Include run instructions (specify versions used)
   • Extra Credit: Download first image in content body and save to local filesystem
   • Tips
     • Write good code that you want people to see.
     • Make it easy to use
   • See example article & illustrated data points:
4. In the simple_refactoring_exercise directory you will find some several directories of code that needs to be refactored. Pick a language you are fluent in and refactor it. Let us know in your cover letter which language you chose.
   • Tests/specs are included.
   • Please refactor the implementation. Clarity and duplication are a given, flawed implementation is also likely.
   • Please note: feel free to change the tests/specs, but they should all be passing when you turn in your code.
   • Leave a note about what you refactored and why. Calling specific named smells and specific named refactorings should be the norm.
5. Commit and Push your code to your fork
6. Send a pull request, we will review your code and get back to you. If your GitHub profile does not include your name, please include your name in the pull request.

** The awesome idea of github pull request as job application task was previously done by Integrum here
