Interview questions [2]
Question 1
2 questions were related to shell scripting 1 question was algo-specific 1 related to how the internet works (what happens when you enter text in the address bar) 1 related to DBMS
The 3rd interview was a more get-to-know-as-a-person kind of interview, after all that I was asked to write a small function on a whiteboard to check if a string is a palindrome
It was a great, and easy interview. I had to show my portfolio to the hiring client. We also discussed the client's ideas for the project they wanted me to work on.
Talking to clients is hard but fun, it´s important to keep the goals in mind at all time. Always try to work smart, and keep it simple. The best option for a freelancer is to be proactive.
