How to interview for a web programmer position?

Question

Career in IT

Hello.
I was invited to the vacancy of a Programmer (without work experience) . This will be my first ever interview. In my resume, I wrote that I know HTML, CSS and begin to learn JS. They themselves offer to teach not only layout, but also PHP, MySQL, etc. On the phone, the HR manager told me that I would have to pass a test for 15-20 minutes. Actually the question is, such tests are a list of questions like "what is the difference between relative and absolute"?
I understand that the question is lamer, but I'm very worried and I want to understand what to expect approximately.

Answer 1

The minimum set of knowledge is of course necessary, but if you read the vacancy, if they read your resume, and everything came together to the point that you were invited for an interview, then the knowledge is already more or less consistent, except to make sure that the resume did not lie.
But from a novice person without work experience, first of all, his qualities are important, and not current knowledge. Personal qualities. Adequacy. Ability to work with tasks and people. The ability to prioritize, the ability to google and solve a problem, or ask a more experienced employee in time if the deadlines are running out, and Google offers an inappropriate solution.
And besides, the first interview not only allows the company to look at you, but also allows you to look at the interview from the inside and at the company from the inside. They ask you questions, don't be afraid to ask them questions.

Answer 2

Dont worry. Every company approaches hiring workers differently.
Let this be your first interview, but certainly not the last.
Do not pass, you will know how this company hires what questions were.
Personally, when I hire people, I'm no longer interested in the correct answer, but in how a person thinks.
Therefore, I am usually against such tests and against abnormal tasks, such as a tower with three eggs.
Better not worry, have a good rest, get enough sleep and dress normally.
If you are very worried, take sedatives persen, novopassitis and everything will be ok;)

Answer 3

Be confident, don't be shy to admit that you don't know something, but at the same time make an assumption about how you would solve this problem.
Testing in your case is most likely necessary for the employer in order to understand what you will have to train and what you already know how to do.
Well, I’ll give you a little encouragement in the end, your competitors will most likely also be people with no experience, including those who are generally completely zero, so the chances of getting a job with some knowledge are very high.

Answer 4

bullshit the first time is usually not taken
for life I probably passed a hundred interviews
go and train

Answer 5

Thanks to everyone for the answers)
As a result, at the interview they gave small tasks in HTML, CSS, JS, etc.
They also asked about work experience. Like that's all.
They promised to call back today, they never called, so I'm looking further)
