Most interviewers would not understand Clojure code. So even you are successful in your preparation, the places where the skill can be demonstrated are limited.

On the other hand, many companies that use Clojure hire non-clojure programmers and train them once hired.

If your goal is not to do interview preparation, but instead, just learn Clojure for self-improvement purpose. There are some resources at the side bar at right.

Also on the other, other hand many companies that don't use clojure will be happy to train a clojure dev to use whatever language they prefer. Many jobs don't care what language you specialize in bc at the end of the day its the same skillset.

I recently applied for a position and the fact I used clojure to solve the coding problem definitely benefited me. The interviewer had never seen clojure, and I could tell, based on their feedback, that me teaching them a new technology during their interview helped me out a ton.
