Survival tip for tech interviews

June 24, 2020

Use this to keep going:

✅ A requirement is not clear ⇒ ask for clarifications.

✅ You don’t know something ⇒ just say it and follow up.

✅ Got stuck ⇒ ask the interviewer for support.

✅ When nervous ⇒ pause and breathe.

✅ Talking to yourself ⇒ make the interviewer part of the solution.

Show me how you reason about code.

Talk about the pros and cons.

Analyze tradeoffs.

And bring your best smile. 😊

Is getting awkward with all these Zoom calls anyways.




Stay cool,
