I've bombed interviews numerous times only for the answers to come to me when the interview is over. My best outcomes are when I am relaxed (already have a job ;)) and I've gone through some basic material and whipped up some example programs.
I've never had a problem in a real world setting or writing code.
- cloverich 4y agoIts just so different talking while being judged by people you dont know, throws things off. I bombed a few last time, one in particular where I was writing a switch statement. They wanted me to use a map. They asked what if the cases kept growing and... it didnt occur to me to use a map. Im sure i looked like a novice. But in my day to day code... i flip between maps and conditionals and switch statements all the time, with ease. Its natural. But while interviewing? It just doesn't come out of me.
- the_only_law 4y agoIt’s weird because at the end of the day, it shouldn’t matter. I’m about to interview for a job two states away. If I fail, well I fail. The worst outcome is status quo, but I’m still terrified of looking like an idiot tomorrow.
