Interview Experience
1

Front-end interview experiences have been relatively scarce. I will share them one by one later. I interviewed a total of 4 companies. Failed at Compass and Failed at Box. Passed at Adoubi, had an additional interview with a black car bar raiser, to be continued. Got tricked during the Tiktok phone interview by a compatriot, just like other shared experiences. Also, an interview with a lending company, missed the opportunity, surprisingly failed the behavioral questions.

Can’t disclose more specific details about the Box incident, but with serious preparation, it is definitely achievable! Among the companies I interviewed with, this was the most challenging one.

  1. Debugging
    7 bugs, each corresponding to:
    Object updates
    Vanilla JS event listeners
    CSS positions
    JS runtime values store
    JS Regex
    HTML input-related knowledge * 2

  2. Image carousel
    Asynchronous requests
    CSS layouts
    Caching
    …

  3. Deep dive project
    Detailed introduction of a large-scoped project
    Introduction takes about 10-15 minutes
    Discuss design, personal contributions
    Elaborate on details of one’s own part, page optimization, and similar aspects

  4. Behavioral Questions
    Stumbled a bit on this question, quite memorable: When you GIVE & RECEIVE Leadership

  5. Design Google Calendar

  6. Ask HM questions
    First time facing this round, I wasn’t prepared with many questions… After 20 minutes of questions in the 30-minute slot, I couldn’t think of more, so it ended. Everyone should study well and prepare questions. It’s best to categorize questions, ask them in groups, not only ask but also respond to HM’s questions, supplementing with personal experiences for resonance.

Finally, I hope everyone lands a job soon. Hard work will surely pay off!

Lastly, for those in a foreign country, unity and mutual assistance among compatriots are essential.

Previously, I was banned from speaking and WeChat by a certain administrator for helping a young lady who was reported by her roommate in the forum. Later, that administrator was dealt with by the war team, and I was unbanned. However, the personal unbinding of WeChat, which took a long time to accumulate 366 points, was instantly deducted, now leaving only 18 points :sob::sob:.
