Winning Tech Interviews Through Mock Interviewing

2024-01-19 21:00:00 +0000

Technical interviewing is truly a skill. Like all skills, to get better at technical interviews, one must practice technical interviewing. For candidates looking to move into new software roles, there exist a myriad of resources on the internet to aid interview preparation. However these resources offer a self-paced approach to improving one’s technical skills. They are not a true representation of an interview environment. Similarly, for working professionals looking to get better as interviewers, one option is to experiment with new questions in a real-life interview setting. However this runs the risk of jeopardizing candidates’ experiences and performance in the hiring process. Enter mock interviewing. In this post, I will share some valuable resources that helped me refine my interviewing skills via mock interviews.

Welcome! I used to have more words in this prelude post, but that post was too stale (and too cringe!). This is a programming blog, but I will try to treat it like a programming “diary”. Yes, I know GitHub and Gists already exist for exactly that purpose. But I like Jekyll, and I like Ruby and this platform just gives me more of an excuse to use these tools. It will also (hopefully) force me to be intentional about what I think is important, and what I think might be valuable information for other people to have. Posts shall try to be as short and sweet as possible, while still being thorough.
