Today, I had an interview scheduled for 10 AM. I was let in at 10:05 AM. The interviewer seemed uninterested and spoke in a very low tone, making it hard for me to understand his initial question. I assumed he was asking for an introduction, so I introduced myself with a smile, as maintaining a positive attitude is crucial during interviews.
He then asked me about OOP concepts, specifically polymorphism and encapsulation. I explained these concepts and provided real-life examples. However, he seemed dissatisfied and asked for code-based examples, which I couldn't provide at the moment. I then explained my interest in technology, my background in biotechnology, and my ongoing efforts to learn programming, including my proficiency in Java. When he asked about my SQL skills and requested me to write a program, I had to admit it was difficult for me. He expressed doubt about my fit for the IT role, saying he didn't know what else to ask me.
I've been preparing for this interview for the last week, focusing on bridging my biotechnology background with IT. I feel hopeless now.
