Technical Screening Interview Practice Guide - Version B

This guide contains instructions for the Technical Screening Interview Practice session of the Technical Interviewing Basics webinar.

Interview (5 minutes)

As pairs in breakout rooms...

  • The interviewer will ask the candidate the following two tech questions:

    1. What is the output of the expression '5' + 3 in JavaScript? Why?
    2. Describe the difference between null and undefined.

  • Switch roles and ask these two tech questions:

    1. Explain the difference between Array.map() and Array.forEach().
    2. What is JavaScript? What is its role in web development?

Reflect and discuss the following with your pair (5 minutes)

As the interviewer

  • What was your goal when asking the questions?
  • Did the candidate respond/react the way you intended?
  • How might these insights prepare you to be a better candidate?

As the candidate

  • What went well during the interview?
  • What didn’t go so well?
  • How might you approach a similar interview differently?
