No computers. Pen only.
For me, rehearsing an answer works out. Then, I try to see how to deconstruct it and apply it to a similar problem I don't know.
I can deliver an answer sounding confident and competent because I practiced an answer. It's a bit of a crap shoot.
What irks me the most is that people are doing the interviews. They can be fooled and persuaded with tones and intonations without them realizing it.
It's not. I hate whiteboarding as much as you but I try not to think of it that way. This method is just a way to increase your chances of succeeding. I've not succeeded in every interview, for sure.
I do what I must to press on. :(
The best thing to do is not to take the rejection personally. I always ask, as nicely as possible, what areas I should focus on to improve for the future.
Sometimes I get no response but I often get replies, good replies.
We do what we must.
That's true. I have other features that reduces my chances of getting hired, but doesn't eliminate them. Still, I wish I had someone else's mind.
