How To Ace Technical Job Interview Questions and Answers by Kingsley Tagbo
Programmers Fail At Technical Interviews Because of Lack of Preparation: Most programmers fail at technical programming interviews for the simple reason that they fail to prepare adequately. Because most programmers only start preparing for their interview after they are threatened with the prospect of losing a job. This strategy usually fails job candidates because they spend all their time searching for a job and then try to prepare for the interview at hand in a couple of days. Some programmers get away with this because the job opening they are applying for has got to be filled, therefore they received a job offer inspite of their poor showing at their preparation.
Lack of Self-Confidence: Timidity, fear, nervousness and lack of confidence can drastically reduce your chance of getting a programming job and here is why: 1. Hiring manages may assume that your lack of self-confidence is evidence that you lack good programming skills. 2. Hiring managers may assume that your lack of self-confidence is proof that you lied on your resume about your skills, experience or qualification. 3. Hiring managers may also assume that you are nervous or shy because you are simply incapable of doing the job you are interviewing for. Needless to say, showing strong confidence in yourself, your programming skills and your ability to get the job done will boost your chances of getting a programming job.

Lack of Real-World Programming Experience: Your ability to show, demonstrate or prove that you have real-world programming experience that matches or exceeds that of the position you apply for will make or break your technical interviews. This is because hiring managers don't want to hire programmers who don't already have the level of expertise and experience required to do the job. So, this can be a strong advantage or strong dis-advantage for you. If you can show your hiring manager that for example, you've worked on the same type of software development project, or that your recent programming experience is relevant to the job opening you are almost hired and if you can't, you will be shoo'd out the door.
