Interview questions

Some questions to practice answering (with a coach!):

  • Where do you want to be in 5 years?
  • What are the strengths of your favorite programming language?
  • On a 1-10 scale, how would you rate yourself at language X?
    • This question is a trap! Don’t ever rate yourself higher than an 8, and at the boot camp level of experience, avoid rating yourself higher than 6.
    • (understand who is interviewing you)
    • Make sure you rate your strongest language the highest score. It can be easy to get flustered.
  • Tell me about a time you had conflict with one of your coworkers? What did you learn from that experience, and what would you do differently if you had to do it all over again.
  • What is your greatest strength?
