Summer Internship Interview summary (ii)
I am not a blogger. I am introverted and not good at talking. I rarely share my experiences with others. The turning point was the interview with Meituan last week, when the interviewer asked me if I had ever written a blog. Remembering that Jane had stopped writing technical sharing articles in 19 years, I could only answer no, so the interviewer recommended me to write more blogs and share my technical problems openly. Considering that writing some technology sharing blog can help me to deepen and understand the technology, so I started to record some of my technical problems in nuggets recently. Writing this interview summary was inspired by another nuggets blogger’s interview summary, and I thought I should record this period of my own efforts.
3.29-4.2 One-week interview
I am a lazy person, two and a half months before winter vacation because worked as an intern in iQIYI occupies a month, the rest for a month and a half to rest at home, during winter vacation was not like most people are prepared ahead of the summer internship, back to school in the middle of march, there have been two roommates for the summer internship in advance, the interview a lot of companies, pressure from roommates let me anxious. Therefore, I began to review basic knowledge and brush Leetcode every day after I came back to school. Because I had prepared the basis for daily practice in November, it was much easier to memorize the eight-part essay this time than before. During this period, one of my roommates had already received offers from Tencent and Ali. I felt more and more pressure, so AFTER reviewing for a week, I began to send resumes directly. I started to apply for my resume on March 24, and I sent my resume to Ali, Meituan and Tencent in succession. Soon after, I received the written test email from Meituan and Ali. From Monday, I received the interview invitation from Meituan and Tencent.
Tencent and Meituan are still fast, Tencent met three times in a week, Meituan met two times. The interview lasted from Tuesday to Thursday, so the schedule was very tight. Unfortunately, there was a sudden tonsil inflammation on Thursday, which made the two interviews really uncomfortable, but fortunately, it did not affect my speaking ability and interview performance.
Let’s talk about the Tencent interview first. Tencent finished the three rounds of interview in a week, which was relatively fast. Although it passed the three rounds, I’m not sure whether there will be a technical interview next week. Interview content, basic ability for investigation is relatively small, about the interview eight-part essays and android technology is not a lot of questions, is the ability to practice ability, algorithm, the respect such as android underlying principle more attention, especially the second interview, the interviewer asked the five or six to android at the bottom of the problem, every point on my knowledge of blind area, several problems in lordaeron, But fortunately, my previous project in IQiyi made the interviewer think that MY ability to implement the upper layer of Android was quite good, so I narrowly missed the second interview. In this round, I paid more attention to my practical ability, mainly studying the knowledge of algorithm and data structure. I did not perform very well, but my introduction to the project during my internship made the interviewer think my ability was ok, so IT was a close call. Do Tencent pen test questions on Sunday, and then wait for the notice.
Meituan’s interview is just like most companies. On the one hand, the interviewer pays attention to the basics; The second interview paid more attention to algorithms and data structures. In the interview, a practice topic was introduced and many relevant technical implementation questions were asked. This interview was very similar to the third interview of Tencent. Originally thought meituan only two, the result suddenly received three notice on Friday, about next Tuesday.
After the interview this week, the biggest conclusion is to actively show their own project experience, a good project experience is a good bonus. During my internship in IQiyi, I participated in the development of new projects. The two projects I did were both started from scratch, which could well demonstrate my Android technical ability. Therefore, DURING the interview, I would spend a lot of time introducing the internship projects, and the interviewer would listen to me patiently and ask some questions about the projects. Another key point is that if there is a video or finished product that can be displayed, it is recommended to show and explain during the interview. The interviewer prefers visual finished product display, which can better and more accurately understand your technical level. After all, “empty words have no proof”. Tencent on the surface of the second time, I am talk to introduce their own projects, did the interviewer ask can show the Demo or finished product, I didn’t think of before done two Demo on your computer, the interviewer what interview on project after the project finished product displayed at the same time, the interviewer’s this proposal is of great help to me, after the interview, I introduced the project by showing Demo and explaining it at the same time, which made it easier to guide the interviewer to follow my pace. The technical questions asked by the interviewer were more likely to be my understanding. An obvious example is that the interviewers of Tencent and Meituan asked a similar question after listening to my explanation of the project: “Can you tell me about a point in the project that exemplifies your technical thinking?”
Interview is one of the fastest ways to learn. After a busy week of interview, I can gain a lot. In the process of continuous cover, summary and cover again, I can quickly understand my knowledge blind spot and constantly supplement my ability. So I really appreciate every interviewer who takes the interview seriously.
On Friday, I invested in Two companies, Kuaishou and Ape Tutoring. If ali and Byte are invited to interview, I will be busy next week, so I will continue to work hard today.
