Jobs lead to employment, and most people want to indulge in a job to become independent and earn their money under someone. Taking a job is not as simple as you think. A person has to go through and crack different interview rounds to get a secured job. So, if you are a job seeker, then you must know how difficult is to clear technical rounds. It is not a cup of coffee for everyone. The skills and abilities of a candidate are analyzed in an interview to know how efficient a candidate is. The interviewer observes the candidate’s behaviour and knowledge while asking questions related to the job profile he is applying for. The candidate must have enough knowledge to answer all the questions confidently to get the job. Some candidate tries to be confident while some fails and that was the right time for the interviewer to do a screening of applicants. Also, The one with the Java certification course will have more career benefits.
So, if you want to crack the tech screening process, then these tips would be helpful.
- Knowledge of language- The foremost important tip for the candidate is to know the language. If you are learning Java then you must have thorough and detailed knowledge of programming language. The interviewer will begin the interview by asking about the programming language, and thus, it is better to prepare before going in an interview.
- Practical knowledge- The theoretical knowledge of programming language is must be known by a candidate but if an interviewer goes into detail and ask the candidate to write a piece of code then, he\she must know how to do it or put it into practice. Therefore, it is important to have practical knowledge of how the piece of code works.
- Understanding your role and make a choice- If you have already decided to become a programmer, then it’s obvious that you will answer the interviewer like a programmer. Also, you should know everything about programming that an interviewer might ask you. It is better to prepare before-hand. But if the job role is about architect then the programming won’t be suitable, and thus, it is important to decide whether you want to be a programmer or an engineer.
- Understanding the behaviour of a program- At the time of recruitment, the interviewer would be interested in knowing different types of programs from you, and thus, you need to know how to write them. Thus, you should know what function could be achieved and how to minimize the code. The interviewer is interested in knowing all these points. If you cleared this technical round, the half interview is done there and then.
- Project knowledge- During graduation or post-graduation, there is one project that needs to be done carefully. The project plays a vital role when a job is at stake. It is important to know everything about the project from the objective to its reason for doing it. You never know what an interviewer can ask you so, it’s important to have realistic data with yourself before going for an interview.
- In-depth knowledge of algorithms- Most of you has heard about algorithms in computer science, programming, math, etc. Algorithms are the set of instructions that are used in solving problems, and if you are going for a job interview, then the interviewer will ask most of the questions based on algorithms. Therefore, it is a must-have in-depth knowledge of algorithms when seeking a job in companies like Google or Microsoft. Thus, it is important to know about designing algorithms.
- Coder and Designer- There are times when people go for the interview and when they are asked about the difference between the coder and designer then they are unable to answer the question. You can also face such difficulty, so if you do not want to feel embarrassed or hurt then you should know the basic difference between the coder and designer. The designer is the ones that design the interface whereas, the coder writes the back-end code.
Try to be more transparent as you could be with an interviewer. After all, it’s you and your job at risk. So, if you are a designer then tell the interviewer about it and do not play mind games with an interviewer.
- Writing piece of code- The interviewer will surely ask you to write a piece of code. So, be prepared and practice as much to design a code of the web-based application. Try to impress the interviewer with your piece of code.
- Answer all the questions- The interviewer will try to play with your mind and will ask you the tough questions to know how you respond to him. At that time, you need to be calm and try to answer all the questions confidently. If you don’t speak at the time of the interview, then this is going to be a major loss for your career. There will be unlimited questions, so don’t think you have to answer 2-3 questions and you are done. If you don’t have an answer, still try to put your points towards the interviewer. Lastly, Come prepared, and try not to lose temper is the simple agenda to clear the interview.
- Preparation day and night- If you want to get a job and fulfil all your dreams then no one can stop you from that. You are the only one who can make this done. You can’t take the practice lightly as practicing for tech screening requires day and night and even years to learn the programming language. It is not as easy as you think. You need to grab the material from online, from books to become more knowledgeable and kill the interview.
To conclude-
These tips are very necessary to clear the technical rounds in an interview. Also, the students should start preparing from now to get the job in Google or Microsoft like companies. Learning algorithms, programming language, requires many years to gain understanding. Therefore, invest your precious time practicing if you want to achieve your goals. “Practicing makes perfect”
