  • I don’t think good job interview is about answering right or wrong questions. It’s more about talking with human you could work with and if that human is able to think his way out because it’s engineering job after all.

    I am contractor as well I only did job interviews as a side quest and I also frequently fail my job interviews, there is nothing bad there.

    Personally I didn’t like 90% of job interviews and there were plenty of them. Most of those people tried to convince me they are smarter and better then me and I am lucky I am speaking with them. But unfortunatelly that’s how it looks like.

    Most people that excpect right or wrong answers are just morons in my opinion because programming is about being wrong 90% of the time.

    Good Luck



  • Honestly when I was doing interview I always tried to ask simple questions about data structures or technologies from CV like what’s the difference between array / list and set, or set and map, I got 90% people failing those answers, sometimes it was stress and you could feel it, so I even helped them with answers and always tried to encourage them so they get rid of stress and start thinking. All of people I hired turned out to be good workers and still work in those companies. I think we just slowly forget how to talk with each other. With all the technology around us, we’re losing empathy.

    Yes it’s fairy simple, basically you draw random things and think about what you want to write about, then the person who needs to read it just go back in time and reads your mind from that period using your paper card. People do it all the time, it’s called Art. Go to museum and you find plenty of those.
