Frontend Developer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter shortly after. I had a great experience.
Everyone I spoke with throughout the process was incredibly friendly and supportive.
The first interview included some technical questions, as noted in the document they provided and also mentioned on Canva's website. So, it's important to prepare for those.
My technical interview lasted an hour and involved building a game. Unfortunately, nerves got the best of me, so I highly recommend practicing your interview skills and answers to stay calm and focused.
My favorite part was that they actually provided feedback! I'm definitely getting ready for the next time I can apply here. :)
