How to Improve Coding for Technical Interviews and Online Assessments
In this blog post, I share some things I am learning after reflecting on my past experiences that can help myself and others to improve coding for technical interviews and online assessments. Coding for technical interviews and online assessments is different to coding for university or coding on the job. In a technical interview, you need to meet the bottom line while emphasising how you communicate your thought process in a way that is easy for the interviewer to understand. In an online coding assessment, there is no interviewer, so you are essentially communicating your idea to yourself while meeting the bottom line. Though, in some cases, you may have to discuss design decisions in the next stage of the hiring process. Therefore, it makes sense to write clear, clean and concise code or as my mantra once was, "Nice documentation and clean code that works".
