Introduction
I recently had the chance to go through the front-end interview process with Emertech Innovations, a promising startup. The experience was both challenging and rewarding, providing an opportunity to showcase my skills in JavaScript and React.js. In this article, I’ll detail my interview journey from the initial screening to receiving a job offer.
Every Round Experience
Round 1: Screening
The first round involved a preliminary assessment of my skills and qualifications. It was an introductory discussion where I shared my background, experience, and the projects I had worked on. This round aimed to evaluate whether my profile aligned with the company’s requirements and provided a chance for us to get to know each other better.
Round 2: Technical Interview
The second round was the technical evaluation, where I faced a panel of three interviewers. They asked various questions related to JavaScript and React.js, and I was determined to impress them with my in-depth knowledge and understanding. I actively engaged in the discussion, ensuring my answers reflected both my technical expertise and problem-solving abilities.
The interviewers were particularly impressed when I shared best practices for JavaScript and React.js development. However, during the multiple-choice questions, I stumbled on one answer. Instead of feeling discouraged, I used the opportunity to explain my reasoning and acknowledge the correct answer, which the interviewers appreciated.
Throughout the interview, there were light-hearted moments when some of my code didn’t work as expected, despite being technically correct. We collectively acknowledged the quirks of the compiler and moved forward positively. Additionally, I completed coding tasks to write React.js code, but I overlooked passing an array to the useState hook. One of the interviewers caught the mistake, leading to a constructive discussion about it. There was also a question I couldn’t recall the exact name of, but I explained the concepts behind it, leaving a good impression on the interviewers.
Round 3: Building a Project from Scratch
To my delight, shortly after sending the email, I received a call from the company expressing appreciation for my honesty and willingness to rectify my oversight. They invited me to the final round, where I was tasked with building a project from scratch. This practical challenge allowed me to demonstrate my skills in a real-world scenario, showcasing my ability to translate concepts into functional applications.
Final Decision
I am thrilled to announce that I have officially accepted the offer for the Front-End Developer position at Emertech Innovations. I look forward to contributing to their innovative projects and being part of such a dynamic team.
