Interview Preparation
Before the Interview The best way to prepare for an interview is to study. You only have a short time to convince someone that you’re worth hiring, so you want to appear knowledgeable and confident. Keep in mind that some topics may be outside the scope of this guide, such as relational databases, front end web development, or algorithm design. Try not to get overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. The majority of interviewers believe that a candidate with strong fundamentals is capable of learning new technologies quickly. Before your interview, get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and wear a suit to look your best. Confirm your appointment and plan to arrive at least a half hour early. If you are doing a phone interview, charge your phone, bring a bottle of water, and find a quiet place where you won’t get distracted. During the Interview A technical interview usually begins with casual questions about your background, such as: Could you tell us about yourself and your experience? Could you tell us about any side projects you’ve worked on? Could you tell us about a time you solved a particularly challenging problem? Could you tell us about a time you resolved a disagreement with a coworker? What was your previous development environment like? Why you are interested in working at our company? Why you are leaving your previous job? What is your biggest weakness? What is your biggest strength? During the technical interview, do your best to answer the interviewer’s questions in your own words. If you are unfamiliar with a topic, it’s much better to admit that rather than bullshit your way through it. If you are on the phone, don’t try to look up an answer on google. It’s exceedingly obvious when a candidate stalls, taps away on their keyboard, and spits out a flawless response thirty seconds later. During the wrap up, you will usually be asked if you have any questions. You should always ask at least one, but never ask about salary or benefits. You are trying to advertise what you can do for a company, not what a company can do for you. Some examples questions are: What is the culture like at your company? What is the development environment like at your company? What is the software development lifecycle at your company? Is there anything about me that you are concerned about? Is there anything I should learn while waiting for your response? What was the correct answer to ? What are the next steps? |
