I was emailed for a Salesforce administrator role final interview session. However, this time it’s a technical exercise. Has anyone done a technical exercise? If so, what it entails and how is it delivered. Do you have to this live on camera or is it something you do on your own and submit for review?

Do a Google search for "prepare for salesforce admin technical interview". You should find some good resources that way. Also, be sure to check the videos tab. Lots of great video prep guides that should help. Good luck!

That depend, if it’s a technical interview I assume they will ask questions
If you have to showcase something usually you‘ll get a case upfront.
Prepare for common topics, maybe new releases, best practices. Also i would suggest you go through your recent projects, which technical challenges were you facing and how to solve them!

It can vary wildly. I’ve heard of people being given assignments to hand in. If is only a meeting I would expect it to be a conversation with a peer that would ask you questions including possible scenarios.

Just remember you can’t know everything so if you don’t know you might consider explaining how your would figure it out. Resourcefulness is a valuable skill too!

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
