Interviews reflection

Suggested ideas to include in your reflection:

What happened in the interview/practice? What are some best practices of technical interviews that you've discussed? What did you excel at in the practice? What will you continue to practice as you prep for interviews in the future? What surprised you about the practice?


I've had about 5 interviews between practice and real ones. The best practices that I've discussed or noticed is to ask if I'm understanding the question/exercise correctly, talk through my process (at the beginning I wouldn't talk as much), ask the interviewer questions about what they think of my solution (feedback) and apply it; have a notebook to take notes and admit when I don't know something (if I want to do an educated guess based on my experience, say so). I'm very good at solving problems, I stay calm and try to focus on the process and not the solution, sometimes I get too excited when explaining a concept and I can be all over the place, I need to practice being more 'to the point'. I want to practice doing code challenges, because it can get easily forgotten, and practice my answer to common questions.
