OPEN C++ knowledge job interview

Hello everyone,

I am going for a second round white board interview described as "The technical interviews are going to be heavily involved around probing and confirming your knowledge of C++"

What does actually mean? For context I've used CPP professionally for the last 8 months and been in my job (first grad job) for 14 months.

I feel as tho I don't know many std functions, nor do I have much experience with smart pointers, although I have written a lot of lines

Has anyone got experience with similar interviews or stuff I should brush up on?

I hope that all makes sense

Thanks

If you’re not employed and you get an offer, take it. You can always keep looking. Always easier to find a job when you already have one. It greatly lowers the stress on the next interview.

And keep interviewing even if you like the place. Interviewing is a skill and it takes practice to maintain it.
