A technical interview is a type of job interview focused on assessing a candidate's technical skills and knowledge relevant to a specific role, often in fields like software engineering or data science. These interviews typically include problem-solving tasks, coding challenges, or questions about algorithms and data structures to evaluate a candidate's ability to think critically and apply their expertise. In addition to technical questions, candidates may also face behavioral questions to gauge their teamwork and communication skills. The goal is to ensure that the candidate not only possesses the necessary technical abilities but can also collaborate effectively within a team environment.
