Personally, I am totally against the process of even testing another persons skill. There are times in the interview when I know the answer and do not remember.. Most of the times, the genuinely skilled person is not respected or paid well(specially in India).
Many times, the most wonderful SharePoint Project experiences were with SharePoint experts who never interviewed me and just trusted me.
This blog shares the interview questions of SharePoint gathered from many while attending interviews for SharePoint openings from the Technical Round. Seeing the tears and frustrations of many job seekers and the atrocities of the HR of companies, I wonder if such interview process is needed and why not a better way for everyone to earn on their own without a silly company/HR/managers? Many people who come from far off places in India to attend interviews are not even paid for the travel or food or shelter and other basic needs.Also, there is total chaos and some big companies even ill treat the highly skilled job seekers in abusive language.
Also, many many companies like Cognizant,Capegemini,Locus IT merely call skilled professionals to do the work in sleepless nights and never pay and send off without paying.Later, I came to know that they are fraud companies who have no funds to pay the contractors and just cheat them.

Below is an experience with Microsoft which was fantastic. I got a call from USA and the they called on time for the interview and gave immediate feedback.
Questions:
2. Tell me about yourself.
1. What is your feedback on SharePoint? Any improvements?
The Technical Round went on for a long time and started off with .NET concepts:
1. What is Threading and Process
2. What is Common Type System
3. What is interface?
SharePoint Questions:
1. What is Application Pool?
2. Does authentication work without configuring User Profile Service Application?
3. Questions related to Sandbox and how code is isolated.
4. Site Definition
5. SharePoint Hosted App- How to get the user defined look and feel.
The following are few interview questions shared by few Software Professionals:
SharePoint App:
Q1:"when to use csom .net managed api and when to use jsom and rest api is there any preference or they are alternative to each other. "
Ans: Choice of the programmer based on skillset of the programmer.
If you are a good C# programmer, then go for .NET Managed API either using Visual Studio or PowerShell, which have the benefits of OOPS and Exception Handling and LINQ.
If you are good in Javascript, then go for JSOM.
If you are not worried about object oriented programming and accessing data from different Web Apps and can easily use any programming language to access data from SharePoint REST Url.
Q2:In which scenario provider hosted app is used and when SharePoint hosted app.
Provider Hosted App is used when you want C# to code the business logic and have a separate server to host your application.
If you like Javascript, then go for SharePoint Hosted App.
In reality, it is better to use SharePoint Hosted App if you are a SharePoint Programmer, since the deployment of the code is easy and also there are no additional cost for hosting a separate server to host the business logic in a Provider Hosted model.
In the coming days, Microsoft is using TypeScript and SharePoint Framework for App Development.
