What Are Some Common Interview Questions For Tech Jobs? by SideHustle: 12:00pm On Apr 20, 2023
Job interviews can be intimidating, but knowing what to expect can help ease your nerves and better prepare you for the interview. In the tech industry, interviews often involve technical questions to assess your skills and knowledge. Here are some common interview questions for tech jobs:

1. What is your experience with [specific technology or programming language]? This question allows the interviewer to gauge your level of expertise in a specific area. Be honest about your experience and give examples of how you have used the technology or programming language in previous projects.

2. What projects have you worked on in the past? The interviewer may ask this question to understand your experience and skills. Be prepared to describe a few projects you've worked on, including your role and responsibilities, the technologies used, and any challenges you faced and how you overcame them.

3. What do you know about our company? Research the company before the interview and be prepared to talk about their mission, products, and recent news. This question shows your interest in the company and your dedication to the role.

4. How do you stay up to date with the latest technologies and industry trends? Tech is constantly evolving, and it's important to stay current with new technologies and industry trends. Be prepared to discuss your methods for staying informed, such as attending conferences, reading industry publications, or participating in online communities.

5. How do you approach problem-solving? This question assesses your critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities. Be prepared to give an example of a problem you faced, your thought process in finding a solution, and the steps you took to resolve the issue.

6. What is your experience working in a team? Most tech projects require collaboration with others, so it's important to have strong teamwork skills. Be prepared to describe your experience working in a team, any challenges you faced, and how you overcame them.

7. Can you walk me through your coding process? For programming roles, the interviewer may ask you to walk them through your coding process. Be prepared to explain how you approach a problem, how you break it down into smaller tasks, and how you test and debug your code.

8. What are your long-term career goals? This question allows the interviewer to understand your ambitions and how the role fits into your long-term plans. Be honest about your goals and how you see the role helping you achieve them.

Preparing for these common interview questions can help you feel more confident and prepared for your next tech job interview. Remember to be honest, specific, and concise in your answers, and don't be afraid to ask the interviewer questions as well. Good luck!

Weldone OP. However, any good or intelligent response tailored around your answers / guide without incorporating the STAR technique especially for question 2,4,5,6 will not be strong.

Its advisable candidates try to give examples when the displayed certain skills especially for Competency or behavioural based questions.

No bro this question you have above is mostly tailored to programming job.

We have vast Tech interviews resources for the IT jobs such as Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing (IT big boys).

Now we also have Software developers, software engineers, DevOps…

Let’s not forget Network Engineering, System Engineering, IT Administrator, IT supports…the list goes on and on.

On NO account should a company give a wrong interview for the Tech industry because it’s against the IT policy frameworks.

During an interview session, it is advisable to use the STAR method when answering the “when” interview questions in tech (it cuts across all disciplines).
The STAR method is an interview technique that gives you a straightforward format to tell a story by laying out the Situation, Task, Action, and Result.

Situation: Set the scene and give the necessary details of your example.
Task: Describe what your responsibility was in that situation.
Action: Explain exactly what steps you took to address it.
Result: Share what outcomes your actions achieved.
By using these four components to shape your anecdote, it’s much easier to share a focused answer, providing the interviewer with “a digestible but compelling narrative of what you did.
It's vital to know this because it's essential.

Prepare for live coding tests using tools like coderpad.

Examples include

Could you please implement a linked list, with methods to add, delete and find elements in the list?

Could you write a program that identifies and counts all repeated characters in a given String. E.g. "abbbcdeeff" output b 3, e 2, f 2.

You should be able to perform the above in at least two major languages.

The first and last paragraph were screaming AI generated.. particularly CHATGPT. It was obvious. I didn't need to even check.

BidenDTrounced:
"The sponsorship of Nazism in Ukraine (at an immense cost of lives and property of the westerners and Ukrainians) only delayed but did not stop the inevitable.
If the west was really concerned with preventing a Russian invasion of surrounding countries, then they should have drafted a millitary agreement with those countries (an agreement that states that should Russia invade that country, then they'll collectively invade Russia). Where does Russia want to invade next? South Africa? Lagos? South America?
The narrative of the West keeps falling apart."

Funnily enough, the outgoing and the incoming presidents did not pass through this rubbish scrutiny.


9ja who do us this thing?


Don't these recruiters have conscience?

Last last, you still won't employ the innocent applicant.
