"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

37%.

5. What is your greatest weakness?
Ways to answer:
a) First way: Turning your strong point into weak point.
For example: I am a perfectionist and therefore, I rarely
believe in anyone who can work as well as me. As a result, I
am afraid to delegate important tasks to others.
This approach has a weak side as that if you are not clever,
you will cause the employer to believe that you are cheating
him.
b) Second way: Solving your weakness absolutely.
A better approach is that you state one point which was once
your weakness, but you have done well to resolve it.
For example: I tended to be a perfectionist, therefore I didn’t
like to delegate to others. But I have found out that in order
to develop the organization, everyone in the organization
must be experienced with many tasks and this is very good
for an efficient team work.
9. Interview questions and answers- Page 9
6. What do you know about this organization?
This question is one reason to do some research on the
organization before the interview. Find out where they have
been and where they are going. What are the current issues
and who are the major players?
Sample answers:
a. A good organization with perfect management. I heard that in
this organization i can gain knowledge and good atmosphere.
b. If its for a good renowned company then its better to go
through the company website and know what’s the company
profile and what’s their achievements/successes and branches
& other details.
c. According to me this is one of the best company. It has a
good Environment, We feel good working in companies, which
has good growth in the IT Industries. This Organization has all
the qualities like good growth, good Environment, maintaining a
best level in the IT Industries, etc.

year?

improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.
