Technical Coding Presentation

A job placement agency reached out about this role. I had an onsite interview where I was asked standard questions like data structures and basic coding problems on a whiteboard. After that, I was given a timed take-home assignment to build a web application. Even though I mentioned web applications aren't my strongest area, they wanted to see how quickly I could learn a new technology and solve a problem under a deadline. I spent the night experimenting with different frameworks using tutorials and eventually settled on Heroku. I worked through the night and then presented the finished project to the hiring manager.
