Technical Interview
Definition
A technical interview tests the specific skills required for a role, such as coding, problem-solving, system design, or domain knowledge. It may involve live exercises, take-home tasks, or whiteboard questions, and often focuses on how you reason as much as on the final answer. Preparing by practising relevant problems and explaining your thought process out loud helps you perform under pressure.
Usage Example
Her technical interview included a live coding exercise where she explained her reasoning as she solved the problem.
