Struggling to pass technical interviews
I have 5 years working in the ServiceNow platform and lost my job about a year ago. Not for performance but due to a company policy violation. I was able to find a new job in IT but they don’t use ServiceNow. I have my CSA, and am self taught for the most part. The problem I have is that I am capable of figuring things out but in those 5 years I was the one that built our instance from the ground up so I was very comfortable building off my own work.
Anyways, I keep landing interviews for companies I really want to work for but keep falling short in the technical portion. I got my last rejection notice for a dream job at a dream company and man it really hurt me enough to want to do something about it.
What frustrates me is that they aren’t difficult, and I understand the question. But I struggle to talk about it.
Questions like:
Where would run a business rule as async rather than after?
What framework does client script use?
How would you update the business duration of 50,000 incidents?
Of course, none of these questions are difficult but coming up with an answer on the spot causes me to not be super confident in my answer and stumble by giving a very high level overview and by then the interviewer just deems me as someone who doesn’t know.
What are good ways to practice these sort of situations? I have tried using the PDI but the lack of data makes it difficult to really want to do anything inside of it. I’m struggling to also build projects without a purpose or an audience.
