Interview
I have one-round in-campus interview first. And then I got an email to be onsite. There are four rounds interview onsite. In the first round, it seems that he is interested in my project. He asked me to design a recommending system for room booking. We discussed about the features of a room and how to use this feature to recommend room for the user. The second round is about the technical quetions. He asked me about the multi-thread and lock questions in Java. Actually I am not familiar with Java multi-thread so I am feeling not good in this round. In the third round, he asked me if I am good at multithread and I said no. He keeps asking knowledge questions instead of algorithm questions. In the fourth round, he asked me so SQL queries but they are quite easy.
