I was able to get a lot of useful tips that really helped me in the interview for a major IT company, often called Nekarakubedangtora. I was also able to get good results in the process. I always recommend the book or lecture to people around me who are changing jobs or looking for jobs 😊😊

I took this course with ease during my job search preparation. I was able to systematically organize the basic technical information and interview preparation strategies by looking back on my past experiences. In particular, it included various topics that are actually covered in interviews, so it provided me with fresh insights, even though I have more than 10 years of experience. I think this course will be helpful even for those with many years of experience. As a result, it was a great help in getting the final approval for this large company interview. Of course, I had already thought about and organized the scalability and problems of the various services I had done before, but I am leaving this review because it helped me organize those things.

It was the best choice with one week left for the interview. If I had found this lecture a little earlier, I would have participated in the editing event, but that's too bad. I feel like I've gotten things back on track that were completely wrong. As you said, I'll go with a light heart and just show more than 70%. I was under a lot of pressure to get 100%, but this helped me a lot.

Instructor Introduction

  • As a developer with 19 years of experience and years of experience as an interviewer at companies like Coupang, LG Fashion, and Kakao, I would like to share my insights on the document screening and technical interview processes.

  • Having witnessed candidates with great backgrounds and skills suffer the bitterness of rejection in interviews, I pondered how I could help them. To provide a guide for preparing in the right direction, I published the book [Developer Technical Interview Notes, Hanbit Media] in 2024.

  • As a senior who has shared the same concerns regarding employment and career changes, and as a developer who has experienced much trial and error to advance my own lacking career, I sought to present a clear roadmap.

      Hello. alopp The concept of the practical lecture was to plan the content that you should definitely read and go through before the technical interview, and I am so happy that it was helpful as intended. I hope you have good results.
