To prepare a coding interview, it’s always better to know what particular skills interviewers are looking for.

Not everyone can be good at competitive programming In fact only few people are able to solve those complicated problems with time restriction.
Many people ask that is competitive programming useful to get a job in tech?

No one can underestimate the importance of a good resume. As a software engineer, your resume gives recruiters/interviewers the first impression and it also determines whether you can get interviews or not.
Do you know that Google receives more than 20,000 resumes a week, or two every minute?
It means that your resume will compete with millions of other resumes. So one may ask how could I make my resume stand out?

It starts with a simple question:
What should I do when I’m stuck in a coding interview?
Most people would suggest you go back and practice more, which can’t be more true.

However, it’s not always the case.

As we always suggested in our previous posts, it’s extremely helpful to practice with coding questions when preparing an interview. Basically you can start with some very general questions from books like “Cracking the Coding Interview” or Website LeetCode. And then when it gets close to your interview date, questions from past interviews of your target company will be more helpful.
