As a developer with 11 years of experience, I went through more of those interviews than I can count. Now, I'm in the position where I hire people - and I completely abandoned the industry standard quiz routine. Based on my own personal experience, my belief is that a good software developer will have a certain mindset and good problem solving skills. With enough experience, I really don't care if they used React before or not. Is it a plus? Sure. Besides, we're not robots. We can't possibly remember everything. That's what documentation is for.

Through sheer luck (and maybe a lack of other applicants) I landed the job. A year and a half later and I’ve watched this video again, and I could’ve answered every single question. I’ve been feeling really down recently because I think I’m really bad at my job and I’m not learning anything, but this video helped me get some perspective.

I’ve been a web dev for years and been on my fair share of these types of interviews. One suggestion I would make to anyone preparing, is learn to tell stories. I don’t mean your life story, but take the question you are asked and tie it into an experience you have had on a project if possible. Or anything tech you know where you can tie the question into something you know. You display your level of experience and knowledge this way. Don’t just say yes or no to questions, or simply provide the answer. Also, some recruiters will ask candidates what questions were asked and can give you a heads up. This is a huge advantage if you can get this information, since you can prep for topic areas before the interview. It’s almost like cheating 😎 And don’t worry about bombing an interview. All it takes is one that gets you a new job. But cool video. This is definitely what an interview is like.

When interviewing with HR personnel in first round then this Albert Einstein quote applies: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Assume that they know little or nothing because they don't. You will impress the interviewer if you are able to explain technical stuff in a really simple and straight forward way. When you interview with a real developer then you can "talk shop" and get really specific with things. It's important you understand their understanding of how the sausage is made early in the interview. Really this is example of just a simple screening interview. I would have gotten some more information about the coding challenge so you can better understand what its going to involve and what they will be looking for you exhibit. You did a great job. Well done. It is clear that you moved to the next round.

1. You can and should log them using a logger tool sich as LogRocket or sentry. If you have errors, using a error catch on React router you can send the user to an error page. There you have oppoertunity to notify the user that there was an issue. 2. In your github or bitbucket you can use tools like dependabot to track out of date packages. Personally I have most of my packages in Nexus in order to avoid breaking features in updated packages. 3. This is very opinionated. There are different ways sich as MVC or Route Based organization. Really depends on what the team prefers 4. If I have to start something from scratch I either user create react app or nextjs boilerplate. I usually set up my linting and prettier first and then define all my pages in either nextjs or react router. Mostly I have templates already set up trough github templates that I often clone. 5. I live momentjs and React Apollo. They are easy to use, well maintained and has a pretty tiny size for its features 6. Probably when you realize that redux is not the greatest tool in the world for what it does. 7. Yes. 8. I think this is the website of scrum where you can certify yourself as a scrummaster without any real life experience for 60 dollars

The lifecycle question was one that everyone here in the comments probably understood what the interviewer was asking and we all cringed for you a bit. But i understand the nerves you get during interviews and sometimes you are so nervous to do good that your brain takes weird tangents when you hear certain words. I bet as soon as you watched it over again you probably knew exactly what she wanted the moment you heard it without the nerves of the interview. For those that are reading this, I also would say that this was a rougher type of interview to have. The person leading the interview (the girl on the phone) didn't do a super good job conducting the interview in my opinion. It was very sterile and you could almost hear her checking off boxes through the phone. I hate interviews like this. A good interviewer will actually create a conversation and find ways to get information of skill and knowledge much more naturally. In fact, interviews like this one cause the person getting interviewed to be much more nervous and trip up more often. As an employer you can miss out on really good talent through a poor interview process like this. Especially in software development because many of the best developers out there are introverted and those types of personalities struggle with this kind of interview. But thanks for making the video. I think the questions are good study questions for developers to think about before an interview. But i think the company that you interviewed with needs to look at training their staff to conduct better interviews.

I used to screen developers like this (hold the first initial call) and can tell you that the interviewer should not be throwing in technical questions into a 'fun chat' (or whatever she said at the start). This is a red flag. If a company starts the call with 'a chat' then starts asking technical questions like this, it doesn't say much how they are treating candidates and therefore how you will be treated further down the line. I'm going through interviews as a developer myself now and have been duped into a '15 minute call to talk about the interview process', which actually turned into a 40 min first stage interview screening call! Major red flag! Any new developers out there, please watch out for things like this. Remember you deserve to be treated with respect regardless of your experience level, you are a HUMAN! Thanks, Joshua for this awesome video, I picked up some great tips, especially how to answer the testing question. Love it!

14 year software engineer (big data engineering and now ML).

Yes they will have to whiteboard and yes will critique what they whiteboard. And no, I don't ask how to reverse a binary tree. That tells me nothing - that can be googled and implemented easily. Example, tell me how you used Kafka (what was the topology? how many topics), How did you index in ElasticSearch, what loads you had on your DBs, what problems were encountered and how you solved those problems. Why didn't you use this tech over this other tech? Could you use it? Compare these two technologies on your CV, what are the main differences you saw interfacing with them....etc

I love this video, such a great idea. Thank you for creating this! I have a few ideas that may help others when speaking on the phone. Please, answer your phone with your own name when you expect a call from a professional contact. It avoids the need for the caller to confirm they have reached the correct person and avoids some initial awkwardness. Don't be afraid to open with a small story too, nothing too long but enough to deliver some personal tone outside of, "Mondays huh?" or "It sure is hot out lol". Doing so quickly establishes a positive tone and allows you to showcase some of your personality. Finally, people hire others they feel they can get along with! Your personality and work ethic are your most important assets!

Excellent video, thanks for posting. This is very helpful and has shown me that the 1st interview for a development job is really no different from every other field I have been in. One thing that may help viewers with the interview process: most likely, the first person you talk to (phone screen) will be a recruiter that supports the hiring manager's department - as he points out in the end. Ask a few questions about the person's role at the company in the first minute of the conversation to confirm this. The hiring manager gave the recruiter a list of questions to ask and the job here is to give the recruiter enough checks in the boxes to bring you on-site or on a call with the hiring manager. Notice in the video how every time he asks the recruiter if she wants more detail she quickly answers no.

Dont downplay your previous profession, it makes you look really bad. Dont go on and on in the "tell me about yourself" question, make it short and sweet. React lifecycle is the most basic react question and he answered it terribly. The question was asking about react lifecycle hooks. Things he did well: very confident and didn't seem nervous, kept the convo natural.

Very cool you posted this. I know nothing about the subject but I saw the topic so I clicked to maybe learn something. Phone interviews are never fun nor easy. Incase anyone needs advice, don't worry about forming any kind of connection with them because you're simply taking a test not an interview. They call it an interview but if it's with HR or anyone not in the department you're applying for don't worry about showing your people skills because all they want are answers.
