Interviewing
Interviewing is a systematic process for assessing a candidate's skills, experience, and cultural fit for a role, typically involving technical questions, problem-solving exercises, and behavioral discussions. It is a critical skill for developers to master, both as interviewees preparing for job opportunities and as interviewers evaluating potential team members. Effective interviewing helps ensure hiring decisions are based on objective criteria and mutual understanding.
Developers should learn interviewing to improve their job prospects by effectively showcasing their abilities during technical screens, coding challenges, and behavioral interviews. As they advance in their careers, they may need to conduct interviews to build strong teams, requiring skills in question design, evaluation, and bias mitigation. This is essential for roles involving hiring decisions, such as senior developers, tech leads, or engineering managers.
