If you are a follower of Elon Musk 🎓, you must have knowledge of how he hires new engineers. If you don't know, here is how.
Elon said in an interview he asks them "Tell me what is the most difficult thing you have worked on, and tell me how you solved it". Elon claims the people who actually worked on an issue will know the little details of how a problem was solved.
I would love to show you how this applies to my personal life. Recently, I was having an interview with an organisation (a start-up). The C.E.O was the interviewer -- imagine the stress about the need to impress him 🥶.
He asked me this same question, "Tell me what is the most difficult thing you have worked on, and tell me how you solved it". -- He doesn't know I know Jiu-Jitsu 😂. Luckily, the day before I had learnt of the STAR method. What is the STAR method ?, you may ask.
S - Situation
T - Task
A - Action
R - Result
Here is how I answered, I told him:
(Situation) - I was working on a side-project and
(Task) - I needed to write unit tests in RTK query and I did not know how.
(Action) - I googled How to, and asked questions on stackoverflow.
(Result) - When I had learnt how to write unit tests in RTK query, I wrote an article to teach others what I have learnt and over 3,000 people have read that article.
