這篇文章是作者分享關於 EM(Engineering Manager) 面試相關的討論文,作者先前已經分享過一系列關於 Engineering Manager 面試的一些經驗
有滿多網友表示之前系列文的分享讓他們有一個方向去準備這類型的面試,而成果也是非常的好。
因此作者寫了最後一篇來分享面試的一些心得與想法
包含下列主題,本文就針對幾個主題進行介紹,對於有興趣的讀者別忘了參閱全文
How important are the technical interviews in the EM interview loop?
Do I need to practice Leetcode to crack the coding rounds?
What if I don’t have relevant experiences to answer situational or experience based questions?
What if I’ve never had to let go of someone from my team?
How much detail should I go into when talking about a situation?
When asked about my weaknesses as a manager, what should I say?
How do I answer the question — what is your management philosophy?
What are some failure modes or traps to watch out for?
How important are the technical interviews in the EM interview loop?
1. 非常重要,雖然大部分情況下 EM 可能沒有太多寫程式的機會,但是沒有技術背景的人是要如何管理一群技術人?
2. 相對於單純寫 Code,技術架構的瞭解更為重要
3. 技術能力與領導經驗哪個更為重要還是要看公司,沒有一定答案,找工作的時後請先好好問一下 recruiter 這些小細節
Do I need to practice Leetcode to crack the coding rounds?
1. 具備 Leetcode medium 等級的能力即可,除非該公司期望 EC 職位的人也必須要從事 IC(Individual Contributor) 或是非常小心創的 Tech Head。不然大部分情況不會遇到太複雜的演算法題目
2. 更多的情況會是詢問如何使用一些基本的資料結構或是解決簡單的演算法問題
3. 主要是判斷你是否有能力將實際的問題轉換為程式碼,是否能夠讀懂,理解與除錯程式碼
4. 忘記 function/語法沒關係,畢竟會面是這個職位的近期程式寫的比較少是可預期的。最重要的還是思路,如何將問題的解法給描述出來
What if I don’t have relevant experiences to answer situational or experience based questions?
1. 這個是非常常見的問題,特別是剛踏入 EM 生涯道路的面試者,本來就很難有太多的範例與經驗去回答這些需要時間累積的問題。
2. 作者推薦誠實的告訴面試官自己這方面經驗不太多,然後可以針對這個範例去探討假如你未來遇到的話,你可能會怎麼面對之類的。
What if I’ve never had to let go of someone from my team?
1. 這是個非常常見的問題,但是就跟前述問題一樣,如果沒有這方面的經驗就誠實以對
2. 可以改從團隊中有人績效不太好為替代方式去探討,講述自己之前的管理哲學與處理方式

【面試常遇到的問題「你的強項和弱項」、「為什麼要雇用你」,該如何用英文回答?】
無論你是初入職場的新鮮人,還是正在考慮轉換跑道的老鳥,面試你都可能會面對這個問題:「What are your strengths and weaknesses?」
回答這個問題時,可以針對應徵此職位需要的能力去做呼應。這裡建議大家掌握一個要點,就是描述自己的優點時,不能顯得驕傲,而講到缺點時,則不能讓公司覺得你能力不足。太抽象嗎?
讓我們用實際例子來說明:
#英文口說 #英文面試 #面試 #自我介紹 #應徵 #工作 VoiceTube 看影片學英語

Notes:
Questions: have you had a confrontation(對抗) at your last job? tell me about it.
應答方法: 可以說沒有(但是也許是謊話!?)說沒有好像有點假 XD
如說有,你舉例可以說一些「微婉」一點的,如... 之前有同事我覺得他沒有很認真工作,所以我有點生氣。He/she wasn’t doing his/her job. I didn’t feel like the team member was giving 100% effort like I was so I became frustrated.
不過切記,因為你是敘述偏向負面的資訊,所以需要「正面解藥」!如何解決問題是很重要的。這段故事也許有點負面、但是ending要是好的。像是你可以結束這個故事by saying... I spoke to my boss about it and things turned out fine. 或是... I worked with that member and leaded him to be more focused at work,總之要有個「解決方案」,不是讓故事停留在負面的階段。
Question: What are your strengths and weaknesses?
盡量focus在你的strength,weakness就快速帶過。
strength可以提到: team player, independent, adaptive, hard working, outgoing, 等等,其他詞彙還有如dedicated worker,參考第一集。
講到weekness要比較小心,可以把「優點跟缺點化為一線之隔」,如… “我的缺點是喜歡閱讀、有時候會看書看到很晚”,這有點假但是是一個不錯的回答方法。或是跟面試官說 “我的缺點是有點工作狂、個性急,喜歡快速把事情做好”。
但是記得!永遠要back up自己的弱點。如果你說你會看書看很晚(其實明明看書是好事,但是這裡你把它看書看很晚當缺點),所以你要有「解藥」跟面試官說 “你會設鬧鐘提醒自己睡覺時間到了、該睡了。"
或是你提到你是工作狂、個性急想把事情做好(其實聽起來好像是優點,但是在這裡你把它當缺點講),記得跟面試官說,"但是你會不時提醒自己欲速則不達,可以稍微放慢步伐確定工作精準度。"
面試結束啥後,記得謝謝面試官的時間。如果可以,記得快濃縮你的優點,讓他知道你是最好的!驚豔他,讓他留下深刻映像。如果你真的很想很想要這份工作,可以很直接的跟他說just give me a chance and I will show you my passion and do my best. I would love to be a member of XXX company.
Good luck!
