Process

I was contacted by the recruiter and then received a confirmation for a phone interview. The phone interview wasn't very difficult. Points covered were:

  • Use of Reset CSS
  • Form Submission (cases of return false, event.preventDefault())
  • Explain Semantic Markup
  • Explain Clearfix
  • What is hasLayout?
  • Inline JS and addEventListener (compare)
  • Difference between == & ===
  • Speak about yourself, your role, and experience
  • Challenges you face

Then I was called for an onsite interview.

I was to meet a total of four interviewers.

The onsite interview was a little tough for me as I wasn't so good at remembering all the syntaxes.

  1. Question on CSS specificity
  2. JavaScript question: Write a performant, efficient code for a given example.
  3. event.target
  4. Write the addClass function in native JS.
  5. How do you design a Navigation Bar?
  6. Question on form submission: Submit a form with an input text field and some checkbox fields. Before submitting, check if at least 2 checkboxes are checked.

I could answer, but I was a little less fluent with all the syntaxes in native JS.

But this was a good learning experience.
