Preparing for technical interviews: a four-week plan

A week-by-week routine for fundamentals, projects, mock interviews and the questions you should ask.

GrowIT Careers·1 min read

Interviews reward preparation you can see: clear fundamentals, a project you can explain in depth and calm, structured answers.

Week 1: fundamentals

Revise the core concepts of your field and practise explaining each in two minutes, out loud.

Week 2: your projects

Prepare to walk through one project from problem to result, including what went wrong and what you'd change.

Week 3: mock interviews

Do at least three timed mock interviews with someone who will give honest feedback.

Week 4: the company

Research the team and product, prepare thoughtful questions and plan your logistics so the day itself is calm.
