A technical interview is a job interview for any position that relates to the tech industry, such as information technology. Technical interviews may take place over the phone, online and in-person, and may range in time from one hour to full-day interviews. Interview questions may consist of traditional interview questions, brainteasers, technical proficiency tests and problem-solving questions.

During the technical interview, the interviewer will assess your technical knowledge, skills and abilities as they relate to the needs of the specific job you are applying to. In addition to assessing your technical knowledge and skills, the interviewer will also be looking for what your thought process is when solving problems and how you will fit into the company's culture.
