why are we changing the interview training timelines?

In neoG'22, we will be doing interview sessions differently than the previous batch.

neoG'21 Reflections

Last time I made a mistake. The companies which come early are the big ones. I thought you should start preparing for interviews only once you know everything & when all your projects are completed which meant that you had less time for the interview preparation. Between your completion of interview preparation to going and facing your first interviews.

updated camp structure

So, what do we want to do in neoG'22 is, we will start interview preparation sessions after two-thirds of the camp itself. Here's how the camp was structured previously in four parts with the roadmap,

1. Frontend Development

2. Advanced Frontend Development

3. Backend Development

4. Interview Preparation

Instead, the plan for neoG'22 is of doing the back-end at last. After the advanced front-end, we will start doing the interview sessions and do the backend later. So, the updated camp structure would be,

1. Frontend Development

2. Advanced Frontend Development

3. Interview Preparation

4. Backend Development

what happens in interview preparation sessions?

We have one interview session on JavaScript interviews, which talks about what are the questions asked, and another session on problem-solving using JavaScript. They are not DSA heavy sessions, they are mostly on the array, strings, or simple data structure questions & how would you resolve them using JavaScript?

So, both the sessions will happen early this year. Both the experts can do mock interviews with all the students. Other teams can see them & learn how to do mock interviews with each other.

how it will help us?

In neoG'22, you would have six weeks to learn the backend and to also keep practicing for interviews. There will be a lot of focus on doing mock interviews for those six weeks while you also work on understanding the backend and working on the back-end projects. This will ensure that once you are out of the camp & complete it, you are ready to face interviews, and set up for success.

the goodbye question

Tell me an instance where you faced an interview. What worked or didn't work? Waiting to hear your stories. Would help us prepare the camp better for you as well.
