What if I can pass a phone screen from Facebook in 2019?

July 6, 2019

Introduction


It is my personal finance research. I do not expect that I will have a phone screen from Facebook again this July after I failed one in August 2018. I just work hard to push myself to advance my problem solving skills. I did learn so much through the phone screen back in August 2018.

What if?


I do believe that it is so much easy for me to work on algorithm and data structure problem daily. I have built a good habit to write a few algorithms, even though I write more than once, or more than 10 times on an algorithm. I know that there is a new problem to come out or I should look into.

2018 phone screen


I did find my biggest problem after 2018 phone screen with Facebook. I noticed that I will have problem to handle stress, I act impulsively instead of being cool, applying some analytical skills. I should make myself easy to work with and be super emotional supporting the interviewer doing good assessment job.

I am getting better


I went through so many mock interviews as an interviewer on interviewing.io after August 2018. I got complaint in and after the interview, and got two times interviewee telling me to quit since anxiety.

I learn that I should help interviewee to learn better through mock interview, make it a pleasant learning experience.


I am better learner


I am a better learner. I can work on tree algorithm every week day if interviewee keeps the interview or show up. I just choose to ask a tree algorithm lowest common ancestor. The idea to use the same algorithm is to help me figure out who is best talent in the world through those interviewees.

I am so humble since I learn that it is so important for me to work on algorithm problem solving, and also demonstrate very good attitude to learn and make the problem solving experience more meaningful in phone screen.
