You’ve hit a major milestone as a computer scientist and are becoming a capable programmer. You now know how to solve problems, write algorithms, and analyze solutions; and you have a wealth of tools (like data structures) at your disposal. You may now be ready for an internship or (possibly) an entry-level software engineering job. But can you land the internship/job? It depends in part on how well you can solve new technical problems and communicate during interviews. How can you get better at this? Practice!

TOP REVIEWS FROM MASTERING THE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INTERVIEW
awesome course! having had so many bad interviews lately, this course points out all the mistakes you can make in an interview and how to improve and practice your skills.
The lessons have been very helpful in preparing for a technical interview. Highly recommended!
Very useful information for interviews, especially if you're not familiar with the process used for interviewing software development candidates.
PERFECT PERFECT! I wish this course was here 2 years ago. The materials are so useful and the mock interview too. Well done Professors!
