Upvote! New people or people interviewing are always afraid to ask questions. I find they think people expect them to always know the answer. I'd much rather hire someone who will find the right people and ask questions when they don't know how to do something. Communication skills.
- melvinroest 6y agoI always say what I don't know during interviews. Based on my experience here is what I've learned: - Most companies will believe you're inexperienced - It act as a filter to those type of companies So one should inhibit themselves if they want more volume / don't care if they end up at a place where this is an issue during the interview process. I have to say, Triply's interview process was quite unique in this: saying what you don't know was kind of the nature of the game. They were simply interested in how you thought based on what you do know and how quick you get to understand certain topics. I'll admit, I'm probably biased, honeymoon period, etc. but I've had a lot of interviews and I found only a few sane things in the whole process. The only other sane thing that I remember is that Brilliant.org had a sane online coding challenge, just enough related to data structures and algorithms to test your mettle, but also practical enough that you could see yourself using that during actual web development.
