As a 23NG who has disembarked Microsoft, he was thinking about how to prepare for the interview in North America just before entering the school, especially the current employment environment in North America is also becoming more and more serious, a large number of NG who can not find a job, and even have several years of experience in the SDE do not dare to jump ship easily, so for each round of job interviews, it is dedicated to consulting the North American seniors engaged in the tech industry, and the tips that they disembarked, the same after their own verification. The same after their own verification, summarized the following aspects:
Practice problems
Whether it is a technology company, or a non-technology company, North American interviews on the assessment of talent will be involved in coding tests, the type of questions from easy-medium-hard difficulty are involved, mainly depending on the type of company. As a CS major student, although there is a certain foundation, but in the brush is still encountering a lot of difficulties, so from leetcode, ground, organizations, collected a lot of question sets, and even signed up for a company-specific algorithm sprint class, he probably did 500 +, to be more smooth, and again on the basis of non-stop enhancement of speed.
MOCK interviews
In the North American interview, communication skills are absolutely unique. Still from the actual work, the interviewer picks not a machine, but a partner, in the work need to communicate a lot of information, in order to more efficiently promote the work, so in the North American interview preparation, whether OA, or VO, the process will involve a lot of communication. So in order to cope with the interview will appear Indian people do not understand the accent, bar raiser, etc., specifically looking for white people / Indian people for MOCK, repeated a few rounds, before there is a significant improvement.
SDE software project
As a NG player, how to get the top spot in North America interview, only rely on hardcore projects, because even if you brush more questions, you can never reach the level of work experience, only from the hardcore projects to highlight their ability, in the interview, you can see the degree of mastery of the technology stack, logical thinking ability, communication skills, business skills, etc., and this is all based on the hardcore industrial projects. Therefore, in order to prepare for the North American interview, I have done several boot camp/agency projects sporadically, but among them, the most useful is still Drill insight's industrial project has a relatively large enhancement as well as gold content, from the technical ability to the business logic, covering all the technology stacks of JD on the market as well as owning distributed system, Cloud platform, Microservice and other highlights, and all of these in the interview attracted the interviewer to ask questions and take the offer.
North American Job Search Channels
Similarly, in order to deal with the North American interviews, not only in the technical ability to improve, but also in the channel to expand multiple channels. I will not only put my resume in the spring and fall recruitment, but also in LinkedIn, index and other recruitment platforms, in addition to the previous Drill insight will provide internal push, hm direct push jobs, etc., so there are more opportunities to find jobs through multiple channels.
With the addition of Indians, the expansion of the study group, due to the North American identity policy as well as the demand for jobs, CS has become the choice of most people, because the standard of the industry's talent has been improving year by year, and standing out in the North American interviews has become the focus of more attention, through their own experience to share, how to prepare for the process of the North American interviews, and I hope to give to the CS majors/transcoding students a little bit of reference.
