What a COBOL interview probes
COBOL interviews reward depth over recall: Tests divisions, PIC clauses, copybooks, file handling, JCL integration, and mainframe batch processing. Interviewers rarely stop at a definition. They push on why, ask you to reason through a tricky case, and watch how you structure the answer under a little pressure.
