2. Brush up on your knowledge


Make sure you have a solid understanding of the technologies,
languages, and concepts that are commonly tested in technical
interviews.

Review the documentation and tutorials for the tools and


technologies you will be using, and try to apply your knowledge to
real-world problems.

3. Be prepared to explain your solutions


In a technical interview, it's not just about coming up with the
correct answer – it's also about being able to explain and justify your
solution.

Be prepared to explain your thought process, approach, and how


you addressed any trade-offs.

4. Stay calm and focused


Technical interviews can be nerve-wracking, and it's easy to get
flustered or lose your train of thought.

Try to stay calm and focused, and take your time to think through
each problem carefully.

If you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask for clarification or take a


moment to gather your thoughts.

5. Show your enthusiasm and passion


Technical interviews are an opportunity to showcase your skills and
abilities, but they are also a chance to demonstrate your passion for
technology and problem-solving.

Be enthusiastic and engaged during the interview, and let your


enthusiasm shine through. This can help you stand out from other
candidates and make a positive impression on the interviewer.

6. Be honest
If you don't know the answer to a question, it's best to simply say "I
don't know." This will make the interviewer try another topic rather
than make a bad impression by answering incorrectly.

7. Be positive and ready to learn new Technologies


Every company uses different tools and technologies, which can
make it difficult to find the right employee.

When they ask you about technology that you don't know, show
them a positive attitude and the desire to learn.

This will make a good impression and increase the chances of being
selected for the job.
