Use this guide once you have a technical interview booked for a junior, graduate or apprentice developer role. Have the job advert, your CV and links to your own code ready.
Step by step
Decode the job advert and interview format
Highlight every language, framework and tool in the advert and sort them into know well, used a little and never used. Email the recruiter and ask politely: Could you tell me what format the technical stages will take, for example live coding, a take-home task or a system discussion, and which language I should use? Knowing the format lets you practise the right thing instead of everything.
