Communicating Technical Skills and Expertise Questions
Focuses on how candidates describe their technical abilities, tools, and depth of expertise. Includes articulating which programming languages, frameworks, data tools or methodologies are known, describing the level of hands on experience, avoiding overstating competence, and describing contexts where the skills were applied. Interviewers use this to verify fit for role responsibilities and to probe for depth versus breadth.
