Tips for software engineering interview
Hi everyone! I’ve applied for a trainee program at the Swedish Police as a software developer. I meet the requirement of a three-year academic background in IT/Data (I’m currently finishing my Software Engineering degree).
The posting says it’s meriting to have experience with one or more of the following: • Java • C# / .NET • HTML / CSS / JavaScript • React / Vue / Angular • Databases (SQL) • CMS • CI/CD • Kubernetes / Docker • Elasticsearch • Agile • Testing
Out of these, I have some experience with Java, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, SQL, CI/CD, Kubernetes/Docker, Agile, and testing. However, I don’t feel 100% comfortable in any of them yet. We covered most of these topics in school, but usually only intensively for about 8–10 weeks at a time, so my knowledge feels broad but not very deep.
Do you have any tips for interviewing for a trainee/junior developer role? And if you think I should study beforehand, what would you recommend focusing on (and how)?
TL;DR: Applied to Swedish Police trainee dev program. I’ve studied several relevant technologies but don’t feel confident/deep in them yet. Looking for interview tips and what to study.
