General Q1: What’s your biggest failure in life and what did you learn from it?
My biggest failure in life was in my first semester at Fanshawe College. During my Strategies for Success course I was to submit an assignment in paper to the professor and did so on time and did very well on it. Later after the semester was done I deleted all work from that class as I needed extra space on my laptop. Of course the teacher lost my assignment and gave me a zero since she had nothing to mark. I learned to always back up my work and think twice before ever deleting something on my computer. This is an invaluable practice in the coding industry.
General Q2: Tell me something about yourself that is not on your resume.
An interesting thing about me …show more content…
At the processor level, only one task would be executing per instant, but to the user it would appear that multiple tasks where executing concurrently.
Situational Q1: What would you do if you discovered what appeared to be a critical software defect during the hours before a software deployment?
I would alert a senior developer or my immediate manager. While it is often easier in the short term to ignore potentially major issues, it is always better to confirm the issue and plan a solution as early as possible.
Situational Q2: Tell me how would you handle the following situation: Your manager usually talks down to you since you are a new co-op student and has said more than once “you know nothing about the industry so sit down, shut up and listen”?
I would take the comments with a grain of salt. He is partially correct since I am a new co-op student just getting into the industry. However, the fact that “I know nothing” is falling more into the verbal harassment category. First I would approach him and tell him that his comments are unwelcome and I’d appreciate it if he would stop. If afterwards it continues, I would keep a record of when he said anything demeaning to me and go to his manager/upper management with my concerns.
