During the coding interview, I was tasked with implementing a small yet practical tool; a tool I believe many people might have looked for and installed for its purpose. While I did experience moments of nervousness where I momentarily paused, the interviewer was kind and supportive, allowing me to complete the implementation successfully. After the initial coding, we discussed optimizations, and I then proceeded to optimize the solution. It appeared to me that the interviewer was satisfied with my implementation. After the interview, I reviewed my approach and found it to be in line with standard practices. I believe my optimization strategies were also correct. However, I did not pass the interview. I would have understood if my performance was evidently lacking, but I was puzzled as it was unclear what the interviewer found insufficient in my work. In conclusion, while the content of the coding interview was not particularly challenging, securing a positive outcome felt quite difficult.

When I had the Technical Interview I was very blessed to have the opportunity to interact with the CEO of the company and this an amazing experience. While he asked technical questions and gave me feedback his main going was to get to know me as a person, not an asset. This has always been hard for companies to understand... you can hire someone with lots of skills and experience but if their attitude, commitment and collaboration with others is not there then you are not hiring in a smart way.
