Something similar happens when interviewers begin with simpler questions to ease into the interview and end up learning a lot (in a bad way) when an anxious interviewee responds in a hostile or condescending manner. And because interviewers will be comparing a candidate’s performance and behavior directly to that of other candidates, it’s worth doing well on the simple stuff. “I had one candidate who was completely blown away to discover that a number to the zero power was one,” says McDowell. “He was convinced there was something wrong with my math.”
How to Ensure You Get It Right
So just how should the wannabe tech employee handle unexpected, difficult questions in the heat of an interview? Five pieces of advice from the experts:
1. Sit and think. Write down all relevant information.
2. Ask a lot of questions. Sometimes interview questions aren’t as confusing or overwhelming once you start to clarify some assumptions that either you or the interviewer might have made.
3. Find a logical framework for solving the problem, and an approach that will allow you to start making progress.
ここで、技術従業員になりたい人がインタビューの最中で、どうのように予期せぬ、難しい質問をやりすごすのでしょうか?専門家からの5つのアドバイスです。
1.座って考えましょう。関連するすべての情報を書き留めましょう。
2.たくさんの質問をしましょう。一度、あなたかインタビューをする人のどちらかが提起した、いくつかの仮定を整理すれば、インタビューの質問がこんがらがったり、圧倒されることはまずありません。
3.問題を解決するのに論理的な枠組みと、物事の進行が行えるようアプローチを見つけましょう。
4. Simplify the problem by removing constraints. Finding a way of breaking down the problem is almost more important than finding the right way or the best way. Show the interviewer that you don’t get overwhelmed, you don’t get scared off.
5. Be ready to test your code. Pay particular attention to brushing up on code qualifications you list in your resume.
6. Don’t forget to prepare for the basic or non-technical questions that examine both your outside interests and your behavioral intelligence.
5. あなたのコードをテストする準備ができている。あなたの履歴書には記載コードの資格でブラッシュアップには特に注意してください。
6. 両方のあなたの外の興味とあなたの行動の知能を調べる基本的なまたは非技術的な質問のために準備することを忘れないでください。
Remember, McDowell adds, “Communication and approaching with a logical framework will get you a really long way with the interviewer. How you think you’re doing has no bearing on how you’re actually doing. Nobody is so smart that they won’t find a single question hard.”
