Preparing for Technical Interviews

Technical interviews will be less stressful if you practice beforehand! Practice solving problems with a friend, and get comfortable asking questions and explaining your thought process. Recruiters share that it’s really important for them to see and hear how you approach and solve problems, and will gauge your critical thinking skills as you talk through your process. 

Here are some tips and resources to help you prepare:
Get very comfortable with one or two programming languages, and think about which one you’ll want to use in your technical interview. Most companies will let you choose which language you’d like to use while solving problems. 

Make presentation slides on tech topics and skills you may want to showcase. Think about projects you’ve done that are particularly relevant to the role. 

Ask questions about the process before your scheduled interview! Ask about format, how much time to expect, and who/how many people you’ll be meeting with. Research the company’s interview process to help you prepare – check out company interview guides from large tech companies.
