So I have an interview in a couple days for a part-time developer job at a local company. I have a CS degree and have worked with React before but never WordPress, which is what they use. I've browsed through some info and it seems pretty basic, but I wanted to ask what specific plugins, etc. are relevant enough to be worth studying before interviewing.
Thanks!

Plugins and plugin bloat, Gutenberg , technical SEO , themes , optimisations , back ups and Google site kit / tag manager and probably a few other bits
Their questions will probably be about the job details they posted, so take a look at those and study any related WordPress errors. They might also want you to explain any complex WordPress issues you’ve resolved before.
This is how people apply for 2000 jobs and not get an offer. Go get a react job.
Go through the wordpress.org glossary: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-glossary/
Also build some demo sites with popular theme like Astra and page builders like beaver, elementor, seedprod, divi, spectra, bricks, etc. Then build one using default gutenberg blocks. The more you build, the more you will learn and understand WordPress.
You can use instawp.com or zipwp.com to play around with staging demo builds.
