I got a working piece of code .. but no offer!

Don’t be surprised! Here are the top five reasons we have seen which lead to this outcome.

1. Did you solve the wrong problem – we see this more often than you’d think, do your best job in disambiguating the question. Write down at least 2 examples of inputs & outputs. Ask the interviewer if you should start coding based on your understanding.
2. You are not evaluated on the output of the code but the process that led you to that code! Did you have to get too many hints? 
3. Did you interact too much or too little ? Both are not good signs. This is a fine line and mocks with pros are the best way to get the balance right.
4. Did you code look too simple without any special casing? E.g. Checking for null pointer / empty arrays should be a habit.
5. Did you get into an argument / heated discussion with the interviewer ? Interviewer could be wrong but does it really matter at the end of the day? Did the interviewer look / feel annoyed?

Mock Interviews are a good way to ensure that you have your bases covered! Set one up today with a professional of your choice from Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon or others.
