| Welcome to the **228th** issue![Two weeks ago](https://softwaretestingweekly.com/issues/226?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F228#start), I highlighted a great resource for preparing for a QA interview.Today, I want to share with you two interesting discussions I found on preparing for a test automation interview:[What to ask in an SDET interview?](https://www.reddit.com/r/QualityAssurance/comments/1e0a7gr/its%5Fmy%5Ffirst%5Ftime%5Finterviewing%5Fsdets%5Fwhat%5Fshould/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F228)[Building a test framework from scratch for an interview](https://www.reddit.com/r/QualityAssurance/comments/1e0lnpw/building%5Fentire%5Fframework%5Ffrom%5Fscratch%5Ffor%5Fan/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F228)In both threads, people talked about test automation coding tasks. Personally, I'm in favour of them, both as an interviewer and a candidate.That's because they're a great opportunity to present your skills, as well as see what challenges you'd face in your new job.Happy testing! 🙂*[Dawid Dylowicz](https://linkedin.com/in/dawid-dylowicz/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F228)*                                                                                                                                                                      |
