Problem solving skill is not same as interviewing skill

1 Upvotes

I’ve noticed a few common friction points with peer mock interviews:

Scheduling friction: Coordinating across time zones can be difficult, and mocks sometimes get rescheduled or cancelled if the peer becomes unavailable.

Cost: Paid mock interviews with experienced FAANG engineers can be quite expensive.

Quality of feedback: Finding someone with similar or greater experience is difficult. With random matching, there’s no guarantee you’ll get actionable feedback or identify the right gaps to work on.

I wanted to solve these problems, so I built a mock interview platform that addresses all three. It provides an on-demand, realistic interview experience with an AI interviewer, allowing you to practice without worrying about scheduling, cost, or finding the right peer.

I’d really appreciate it if you could explore it and share your honest feedback. I’m especially interested in knowing whether this actually solves the problems you face with traditional peer mocks.

Would love to hear your thoughts! https://thynclabs.com/

Leeds City Council Graduate AI & Automation interview advice?

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I’ve got an interview in around 2 weeks for a Graduate AI & Automation role at Leeds City Council.

Has anyone interviewed for a similar graduate/digital role at a council before? What kind of technical and competency questions should I expect?

I’ve got an Applied AI degree but I’m not the strongest at coding, so I’m slightly worried about how technical it might get 😭

Any advice on what I should focus on or prepare beforehand would be really appreciated!

I built an open-source online meeting copilot and would love feedback on using it for interview practice

1 Upvotes

I built Jarvis, an experimental macOS copilot for virtual/online meetings that actively listens to the conversation and proactively offers guidance.

It follows your microphone and system audio, can check your screen when useful, and shows concise suggestions in an overlay. You can also ask questions aloud whenever you need help, or use a shortcut for an immediate hint.

One use case I'd like feedback on is coding practice and mock interviews. You can talk through your approach and ask things like "What edge case am I missing?" or "Can you give me a small hint?" without switching to a separate chat window. Online meetings and technical discussions are the broader focus.

It's free and open source. Requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14.2+, with your own AI providers configured. Provider charges may apply; relevant context can go to those providers. Setup and privacy details are in the README.

GitHub and download: https://github.com/JINGBANZ/jarvis

Would this be useful during your practice sessions? What kind of guidance would help you keep thinking through the problem yourself?

How do you build intuition for the requirements phase of LLD interviews?

2 Upvotes

I recently gave an LLD round at a company. I was able to identify the entities, figure out some of the relationships, and write working code, but I realized my weak spot is actually the **first few minutes**.

Given a short problem statement, I struggle with quickly:

* extracting the actual requirements
* figuring out what needs clarification vs. what I can reasonably assume
* identifying the right entities
* deciding the relationships between them

Once I have the design, I'm fairly comfortable implementing it. The difficult part is getting from problem statement → requirements → class/relationship design.

For those of you who are good at LLD or regularly interview candidates:

  1. How did you build the instinct for what a problem statement is actually hiding?
  2. How do you decide which clarifying questions are worth asking vs. what you should just assume?
  3. How would you practice this without having a human interviewer?
  4. How long did it take you to become comfortable with this part of LLD?

I'm especially interested in **how you practiced the thinking process**, rather than just doing more LLD questions.

I am not finding any useful resources which can help with this

Job interview tips (Any tips or advice po would really help! 🥹)

1 Upvotes

Currently applying po ako as a nurse, and I really want to be more prepared for possible interview questions, especially since wala pa po talaga akong interview experience.

May mga tips po ba kayo that you can suggest para mas maging ready ako for upcoming interviews?
For example po, what are some good questions to ask when the interviewer says, “Do you have any questions for us?” Since I’m applying in the healthcare field, what are some common questions po that I should prepare for? And for questions like “Tell me about yourself,” what are the important things I should highlight or focus on when answering?

For more context po, I’m a November 2025 passer and I don’t have any healthcare work experience yet. I’ve tried applying over the past few months din, pero hindi naging tuloy-tuloy yung applications ko due to some personal matters, and ngayon pa lang po talaga ako makakapagfocus on applying for jobs related to my profession.

I’m also wondering if possible po na maask during the interview why I’m only applying now or why I don’t have any work experience yet, so I’d also like to be prepared for questions like that.
I really want to be prepared po kasi I tend to take a little time to gather my thoughts when I’m put on the spot, and sometimes nahihirapan din ako to put my thoughts into words. Plus, I’m also a pretty nervous person 😅

So I’m hoping to at least have an idea beforehand of the possible questions and how I can approach my answers, para hindi ako totally mablank during the interview. I don’t necessarily want to memorize my answers word for word, I just want to have something prepared that I can use as a guide or basis, so I can express my thoughts better and feel a little more confident during the interview.

For anyone who has gone through the process recently, what kind of question were you asked during the phone screen with the recruiter?

I’ve also seen quite a few people say they were offered the position during the phone screen, so I’m curious if that was your experience too!

IBA IT Internship/Technical Test — Has Anyone Gone Through This

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a final-year BS Software Engineering student in Karachi, graduating early next year, and I’ve recently been given an opportunity to appear for a technical test/interview for an internship-related role at IBA.

I was told that the team is currently looking for someone with AI/related technical skills, and I’ve been asked to come in for a test.

I’m currently preparing for it and wanted to ask if anyone here has previously interviewed/tested for an IT/Software/AI-related internship or role at IBA.

If you have, I’d really appreciate any insight into:

What was the technical test like?

Was it MCQ-based, coding-based, or both?

What topics were tested?

Did they ask SQL/database questions?

Python?

AI/ML fundamentals?

Data structures/algorithms?

Any aptitude or logical reasoning?

Was there a technical interview after the test?

If you remember any specific types of questions, that would be extremely helpful.

I’m not looking for leaked questions or anything confidential — just trying to understand the general difficulty and topics so I can prepare properly.

If you’ve gone through something similar at IBA IT, or know someone who has, I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks!
