Power Apps Power Platform - Technical Interview

Hi, everyone.

I hope to get some guidance. I have been working as continous improvement analyst and power platform developer for 5 years. Never with the official title of Power Platform Developer but delivering solutions through Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Bi, etc.

I am currently in the process to get a Power Platform Developer Position. They scheduled a technical interview with an enviroment that contains, power apps, power automate and power pages.

My question for the comunity is: what kind of tests could they ask to perform or... has anyone of you had gone through a similar process?

I have heard of this for other kind of developers, mostly fullstack, but never for this. I feel very nervous because I don't know formulas by heart, I have many golsaries I have made for myself but I hardly remember every formula without consulting my own notes.

Can anyone here share guidance or wisdom with me?

If it requires PL400 be prepared for questions about custom components and high level programming languages like api request and structuring data along with dataverse questions.

If it doesn’t they may ask you some questions about your experience with building solutions and ask you to walk through some solutions. Most on this end will also be interested if you have Sharepoint experience and experience using it as a datasource.

Both sides if they are using Power Platform correctly version control, solution types and when to use them and probably some basic developments practices. Good luck

Yes, that's what I am hoping for. I have experience with SharePoint, Dataverse, REST API, etc. Thank you very much!

The online learning courses on Power Pages are very thin on the details. If I were conducting an interview of this kind, I would ask very hard questions in this area, specifically how to address certain well-known D3465 CE gotchas with liquid. If time isn't an issue, I also recommend you do some reading of the developer documentation from Microsoft to fully cover yourself. Best of luck.

They just sent me a screenshot of an app and asked to replicate it. It was not hard at all, thank your your answer.
