Does stress impact technical interview performance? (2020) [pdf]
My least favourite interview technique has to be &quot;talk me through a complex problem on a whiteboard&quot;. It&#x27;s not so much the stress but the fact that you can&#x27;t have a train of thought longer than 5 seconds before someone finds the silence awkward or interprets it as you&#x27;re lost and breaks the silence and train of thought. It&#x27;s a test for solving complex problems in 5 second blocks while being constantly interrupted.
