Process
After my phone screen, I was asked to come in for an onsite interview, which took roughly 3.5 hours. I was told to be prepared to be there for that long.
Everyone I spoke with asked general interview questions, such as:
- How do you handle conflict?
- How do you handle feedback?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Then I was asked to join a WebEx, where I answered several HTML/CSS/JavaScript questions.
Questions
What is "Semantic HTML"?
What is "Event Bubbling"?
What are "Anonymous Functions" and when would you want to use them?
What is "Closure"?
Which takes precedence: HTML elements or HTML IDs?
Which takes precedence: HTML IDs or HTML Classes?
What methods would you use to implement "Responsive Design"?
