How to Prepare for Your Soft Skills Evaluation on Turing

At Turing, we prioritize both technical expertise and professional presence. The Soft Skills Evaluation is an important step that helps us assess how well candidates communicate and interact in a professional setting.

Preparation Checklist for Your Soft Skills Evaluation

  1. Set Up in a Quiet Environment
    Choose a distraction-free space for the evaluation. A quiet environment ensures that you can focus and communicate effectively without background noise or interruptions.
  2. Ensure a Stable Internet Connection
    A strong and stable internet connection is essential for a smooth interview experience. For optimal performance, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 4 Mbps.
  3. Use a Desktop or Laptop
    Your evaluation must be conducted on a desktop or laptop computer, as mobile connections are not allowed at this stage. Make sure your device has a functioning webcam and microphone, as both are required for the call.
  4. Be Aware of Recording
    The self-interview will be recorded for quality assurance and to help enhance your profile. This recording helps us review and improve the overall interview experience.

Troubleshooting Tips for a Smooth Experience

To avoid technical interruptions, please follow these steps:

  1. Use a Chromium-Based Browser
    Take the interview using a Chromium-based browser like Google Chrome (version 74 or higher) or Microsoft Edge (version 79 or higher) for compatibility.
  2. Turn Off Incognito Mode
    Make sure you’re not using "Incognito Mode" or "Private Browsing" mode, as this can interfere with some functionalities. You can open a regular window by pressing "Ctrl + N" on Windows or "Cmd + N" on Mac.
  3. Disable VPN and Ad Blockers
    Avoid using a VPN, ad blocker, or any browser extensions that might disrupt connectivity. Also, deactivate any third-party apps that could interfere with your microphone or camera (e.g., Grammarly).
  4. Check Your Web Socket Connection
    Verify that your Web Socket connection is open. You can test it at websocketstest.com or libwebsockets.org/testserver/.
  5. Clear Cache and Cookies
    Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then refresh the page to improve performance and eliminate potential issues.

What to Do If Problems Persist

If you experience technical issues despite following these steps:

  • Switch to a Different Browser or Device: Sometimes switching to another browser or device can solve technical glitches.
  • Try Another Network: If possible, connect to a different network to see if this resolves the issue.

When to Reach Out for Help

If you’re still unable to proceed after troubleshooting, please:

  1. Collect a HAR file (a record of network activity).
  2. Record your screen or take screenshots of the issue.
  3. Share these files with us for further investigation by our technical team.

Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth and successful Soft Skills Evaluation. For any further assistance, our team is here to help—just reach out!
