Mock interview: Product except itself

June 15, 2020

Introduction

It is my second mock interview from my friend Bryant. He asked me to work on the algorithm, and he said that only 20 minutes for mock interview, and will come back to offer me this Friday or Saturday for another mock interview.

Product except itself

I worked on the problem from 8:04 PM to 8:20 PM. And then he spent 10 minutes to talk to me, and gave me feedback.

He also showed me how he will explain the test case and make code more neat, comment more clear as well.

It is so good to have some one to push me to expedite the problem solving process, and also explain things better. I need to work on a simple test case [1, 2, 3], and then make sure that no bug in my code as well.

Here is the gist.

Actionable items

I need to work on communication skills. I am very happy to learn that I am getting better on my allergies today.

Bryant complained to me that I did not prepare very well for mock interview. He asked me to open Google docs, and then he told me to give him permission to edit the document. 

First I set up zoom using my laptop, and then he complained that he could not hear me. I joined zoom meeting using my mobile phone as well. There was echo, so I turned down volume of laptop speaker.
