The best way to improve at technical interviews is to practice. Hopefully that’s not too shocking of a concept. But even before your first interview, you can still begin improving.

Mock InterviewsMock interviews will help you get a sense of the time management and communication skills required to pass technical interviews, and they can teach you a lot. Maybe you learn that your throat gets hoarse when you talk for 30 minutes straight, so you keep a glass of water next to you during interviews. Or maybe you learn that you have a habit of looking away from your computer on Zoom calls, which is concerning for the interviewer to see.

Mock interviews can easily be done with a friend, classmate, and potentially even a career advisor or professor. There are plenty of services that will connect you with a FAANG+ engineer for a more professional mock interview, but most of them are overpriced given their value.
