This article is the beginning of a series of interview experience sharing for C++ positions, so stay tuned.
In C++ job interviews, we usually start with technical interviews, and then HR interviews if we pass the interviews. we will have a chance to discuss the content of HR interviews in depth in the future, and we will focus on the technical interviews today.
Technical interviews are usually conducted by a colleague in the same position or a leader of the technical team as the interviewer. In the opening exchange, it is appropriate to make some tentative inquiries in order to make more targeted responses in the follow-up questions and answers. For example, during the leadership interview, you can occasionally give some compliments to enhance the communication atmosphere.
Here are some practical dry facts:
Overview of the interview process
I.self-introduction: Self-introduction is usually required at the opening. Tips: you can practice a few times at home in front of the mirror, fluent expression will give the interviewer a first impression of quick thinking, the effect will be very good oh!
II.Contents of the technical mission: Interviews usually revolve around the following areas:
1.C++ Language Fundamentals: Primarily examines the basic concepts and syntax of C++, with reference to classic textbooks such as C++ Programming.
2.C++ language application techniques: Higher-order techniques involving the use of C++, the Effective C++ series of books, and an understanding of some design patterns are recommended.
3.C++ Implementation Level Examination: This section focuses not only on the use of the language, but also on specific C++ implementations, and understanding C++ features from the compiler's perspective is key. It is recommended to read books such as "C++ Memory Model" to get the necessary theory and practice.
4.Examination of platform-related knowledge: For freshers, the language level may be sufficient; however, for social recruiting, interviewers usually focus on skills related to specific platforms, such as Linux, Mac, Windows, and mobile.
5.Job-related plus points: For example, mastering specific libraries is preferred. If you have relevant experience, it is recommended to read more source code of the corresponding library to deeply understand its implementation principles.
6.Comprehensive examination of project experience: Usually at the end of the interview, the interviewer will have an in-depth discussion around one or two of your project experiences. Prepare in advance by picking a project that you feel is a highlight and practicing how to clearly present the project background, technical architecture, personal contributions, and the challenges and highlights of the project.
concluding remarks
These are the main points that may be covered in a C++ interview. I will follow up with detailed additions to 1 to 5 in the session, including experience sharing, case studies, and information references, to help those preparing for C++ positions prepare efficiently in a short period of time, have a smooth interview, get an early offer, and realize their career goals.
