I confess that I'm suspicious of any article that uses the word "learnings" in the title, because it represents a certain perspective where the meanings of words have started to shift toward the vague and fuzzy. But this article is not that; it's full of concrete advice for technical people looking for a technical job with a strong focus on the non-technical aspects, because that's where the interview succeeds or fails. If I had to summarize in a nutshell: find out what the company or organization values, and then craft stories (that you can use as answers to questions like "describe a case where you had to manage through a conflict") that show how what you've done fits those values.
