Tools & Closing

2:27 with Michelle Zohlman

Learn about additional tools that can be helpful in preparing for a technical interview.

Before we end, 0:00
I wanna share a few tools that folks at Treehouse have recommended to help with 0:01
the technical interview in addition to the resources in the teacher's notes. 0:06
HackerRank.com is used by many companies to administer interview coding challenges. 0:11
This is a great tool to become familiar with. 0:17
It is also used by many employers to source talent based on the challenges 0:20
they've completed in the app. 0:24
So you never know if you might get recruited through there. 0:26
Codesignal.com is another excellent alternative similar to HackerRank. 0:29
Miro.com is an excellent tool to practice virtual whiteboarding. 0:36
Additionally, you might find some companies using this tool to run remote 0:41
interviews. 0:45
Another option is to utilize CodeKata.com. 0:48
CodeKata provides you with examples of code you can use to practice solving 0:52
challenges. 0:56
This is a great tool to practice whiteboarding. 0:57
Using an example given online, you can whiteboard with one of the online tools or 1:00
an actual whiteboard. 1:05
You can even invite a friend over or 1:07
get on a video call with them and emulate the whiteboard interview. 1:10
A great option to practice is right here on the Treehouse platform. 1:15
Make use of practice sessions. 1:19
You will watch a video that explains a problem then you work on a solution. 1:21
Sounds familiar to some interviews we talked about today,right? 1:26
Then you come back and watch the solution video. 1:30
You can filter a library to look at just practice sessions and filter by topic. 1:33
Lastly, I wanna encourage you to utilize the Treehouse community on Slack. 1:40
If you feel comfortable sharing and have an interview coming up, ask for 1:45
advice from folks who've gone through a technical interview or 1:50
ask someone to help you prepare. 1:54
Utilize these tools and the many others out there to practice. 1:56
That is the most important thing you can do to prepare for 2:00
a technical interview practice, practice, practice. 2:03
The tricky part of a technical interview is that there are so many variables. 2:08
The structure of the interview is individual to each company and 2:13
the role they are looking to fill. 2:17
Hopefully, this has helped give you an idea of what to expect and 2:19
ways to prepare for your next interview. 2:23
See y'all soon! 2:26
