How to Ace Your Technical Interviews in 2025 (Course Report Interview) 

Technical interviews are evolving, and staying ahead is key to landing your dream tech job. Course Report recently interviewed Vinny Sanfillipo, our Senior Director of Career Development, and Margaret Green, our Technical Skills Development Manager, to get their insights on 2025’s technical interview landscape.

Here are some highlights from the interview:

What to Expect Now, and for the Rest of 2025

• AI’s Influence Will Continue to Grow
  Companies increasingly use AI for interview screenings, code verification, and interview prep tools. Our Pathway Program includes training students on how to effectively use these tools.
• Soft Skills Matter
  Strong communication skills are just as critical as technical expertise. Networking matters, too, and in our bootcamps, we focus on training students to have strong soft skills that are ready for the tech job market.
• Live Coding vs. Take-Home Projects
  Both are common in interviews, so it’s important to be ready for either format.
• In-Person Interviews Are on the Rise
  While remote interviews remain dominant, some companies bring candidates into the office for live whiteboarding and coding exercises.
• Key Languages to Learn and Know
  Java, Python, and JavaScript remain in high demand.

How to Prepare

• Practice Mock Interviews
  …with peers, using AI tools, and if you’re in the bootcamp, with your instructors and career coaches.
• Go Beyond LeetCode
  LeetCode is useful for interview preparation, but you also need to be able to explain your thought processes during the interview.
• Leverage Career Support
  Our Pathway Program provides coaching, mock interviews, and job search support during the bootcamp and for 180 days post-graduation.
