Preparing for technical interviews with proof of work

Africoders Editorial 1 min read

Walk into interviews with demos, stories, and trade-offs — not memorised trivia alone.

Interviewers remember candidates who can narrate real systems. Use your Passport as the spine of your preparation.

Build a story bank

For each project, prepare: context, your role, a hard decision, a failure, and the outcome. Practice aloud for two minutes each.

Connect challenges to roles

If you want backend roles, prioritise API and data challenges. Link submissions on your Passport before the interview week.

During the interview

Offer to share a demo link. Explain constraints honestly. Ask clarifying questions — curiosity signals seniority.

Closing

Proof turns interviews from memory tests into professional conversations.
