Now to which company to interview is to fill out an interview form, and then two or three pages of note questions. At this time, some students saw that they would either turn around or do half of the written exam, and the remaining half insisted on finishing the written test and waiting for the result.

Perhaps most programmers hate the written test or even resent this kind of company, thinking that the exams are all basic, and some knowledge that can not be used in real projects is totally unnecessary. It would be nice to talk more about the project.

Why does the interview need a written examination?

One is to follow the trend. Other companies have written exams. Why don't we? Those with high scores are excellent.

Second, violent screening, there are too many candidates, only by setting this threshold can there be a reasonable reason to reject a group of people, and it is also very effective, just like the requirements of 211 and 958 institutions with academic qualifications.

Third, according to the company's job requirements need the necessary professional basic knowledge, if these things do not know, then you can only ha ha.

Most companies take written tests and think that the ability to score high must be good, but the ability to score low is also weak, but now their written questions are also randomly copied from the Internet, and have not changed a word. And most of the interviewers have become very smart, directly search the C# interview questions bank, Java interview questions bank, PHP interview summary. What's more, some training institutions also teach the experience of the interview directly, designing all the notes needed for the interview and how to answer the questions asked. All you have to do is to recite the questions and brush the questions several times before the interview. I finished it in a few minutes after I got the test paper. The interviewer saw that the score was a talent. It is not surprising that even the salaries of new and old employees are upside down.

Therefore, some people say that the contents of the written test are all theoretical, rarely used in practice, will not be very normal, and the written questions are all done, which can not show the real strength and waste of time.

As an ape who has worked for many years, he has applied for jobs in many companies and done a lot of written exams, and even many companies have to do personality tests (several pages, more than an hour). )

I don't like the written test either, but I also finish the written test seriously with the attitude of respecting the system of each company, and generally speaking, it is not too difficult for the old ape to take notes, unless each company makes some irrelevant questions for the purpose of pretending to force.

Later, due to the need to expand manpower for development, the company worked as an interviewer for several times, cancelled the written test with a caring attitude, and directly asked the candidates to interview directly. In the bleak face, it is found that when asking business-related technical questions, because they do not understand the technical ability of the candidate, they can only ask a wide range of aspects, and the depth can only be from deep to shallow to take quite a long time after the interview, so both sides feel tired. So later, according to the technology needed by the business, such as the difference between static variables and instance variables, the principle of JVM, the principle of reflection, the implementation of multiple concurrent locks, the implementation of the second kill function, and how to solve the problems that will arise, such as basic SQL row transfer, column transfer and other basic pen questions. In fact, from the point of view of the written examination questions, there is only the question of whether or not to do well, our purpose is not to defeat the candidate, but to see the level of the candidate from the written test, and then ask the corresponding depth questions during the interview. If we can see from the written test that SQL is not good, then we will no longer ask questions about SQL. If we can see that there is a lot of research on the source code, we can continue to discuss it in depth. See which layer, so that both sides will be more comfortable, in a relatively short period of time more fully reflect the ability of the candidate.

Expression ability is also a big problem for programmers. Many people often say that they shiver after many years of face-to-face interview with the examiner, unable to fully show their real combat ability. at this time, the written test is a good way for you to think calmly.

In fact, for programmers, only those who require less than 5 years of experience will take a written test. after all, employees from companies that are not very bad will basically wade through all the pits they should have, and will master all the basic knowledge. the written test is purely superfluous, and it will be bleak for those who have been for more than 5 years, without considering shallow problems. For example, it is directly a shallow-to-deep solution in terms of project architecture.

But on the other hand, no matter how many years of experience you have, if you can finish the paper, I think the company is fond of you at least in terms of attitude. Because what is examined is not only your technical ability, but also your ability to learn new technologies, as well as your ability to solve problems and work attitude, which is important. Business is changeable and problems that you have never encountered are also needed. You also need to use new technologies to solve them. If you irresponsibly let you in, it is not only your own pain that the task cannot be completed, but also the resentment of the entire project team.

Finally, no matter whether the company has a written examination or not, it is better to prepare some theoretical knowledge to brush through the questions. After all, it is the last word to be able to live until the end of the reexamination.
