hardworking and committed person and they would say I am a positive and supportive
person. I can say I have 2 different characters, with my colleagues I am a serious person
and they say I have a strong relationship and I am good at delivering projects but among
my friends, I've been known as an honest and fun person.

4-why did you choose our company for cooperation?

As I visited your website and I found out that you are working in x and y field which are
interesting for me. I've found out that you are looking for a full-stack developer with
strong experience in c#, angular, HTML and CSS. Considering my skills and abilities I
suppose that this position is suitable for me. Working in a start-up company seemed
fantastic and I am excited about challenges.
Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience. I’ve spent several years
working in programming.
Secondly, I know … company is one of the fastest-growing companies in London, and I
want to be part of that.
Above all … the reason I want this job …

5-Why did you leave your last job?

To be honest, I loved my previous workplace because I was successful there. I found it
fulfilling to be there, but now I immigrated to Germany and I‘m ready to face new
challenges in a new workplace; Germany is a developed and progressive country and
according to my abilities and personality, I believe I can succeed in this condition.

6-What are your career goals/prospects?

In the first 2-3 years, I see myself as an expert programmer who knows the German’s
company culture and can have good effects on team and company. For 2-3 years after
that. I see myself as the person who can manage the team and offer technical and
professional solutions for the company. I have this experience in Iran and I am going to
have this in a developed country like Germany.

7-What is your greatest weakness?

I certainly admit that I am not perfect, When I was a leader in the team, I was impatient
by the irresponsibility of some colleagues. For example, someone who could finish his
task but didn't get it done because he had time to wait and part of the project was
waiting for him to finish. I think it is annoying. But I try not to let it affect my
performance. Well as I mentioned before, I do tend to get frustrated if I don’t see
progress in my work.

8-Are you applying for other jobs?

Of course, I am. I am looking for the best place to put my skills into practice, and so far
this place looks excellent.

8-What do you know about our organization?

What Is Your Dream Job?
what's your ideal job position and company?
I am looking to have more responsibilities and more room for growth I am going to
upgrade my qualifications and be successful in my job plans both for my satisfaction
and for the company in which I work.

9-Why should we hire you?

What makes you a good fit for this role?
Why are you the best candidate for this position?
I have good experience and passion for this situation. I also learned through my
research that your company values x,y,z and I know without a doubt my experience in
this area will sustain company standards and lead the team to greater success. I read
about this position on your website, and I think that I can be a suitable candidate for this
position.

10-How long would you expect to work for us if hired?

I‘d like it to be here for a long time; as long as you permit me and I believe that I do my
tasks properly to remain in your company. I worked just in 2 companies when I was in
Iran and generally, I prefer not to change my place and stay there and help the company
to achieve goals. I worked for my previous employer for 5 years. That demonstrates my
loyalty. So, as long as the job is challenging, and I am having growth and training
potential, I will be happy to work there. I immigrated and I am looking for a new
workplace and I hope to find a workplace where I can stay for a long time.

11-Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?

I had this experience 2 years ago when we got the first project of a government client.
We didn’t have enough time and I worked overtime at night and I didn’t come back home
for a week. But after that, I lost my motivation little for working overtime because even
though I keep the project alive, I just received some false promise. I love my job and I
believe that when a project deadline is coming up, everyone must pull together to finish
it.

12-Do you consider yourself successful?

Yes, because everywhere I worked, my employer and colleagues were very satisfied with
me because I've done my best to be effective.

13-Explain how you would be an asset to this organization?

The capabilities I have in my field can be very useful for the improvement of quality in
my department, giving the overall benefit to the company. I've always been a trustworthy
person, and that's one of the important reasons.

14-What is more important to you: the money or the work?

I believe they are equally important to our well-being. But I am not looking to get rich and
I am only looking for an opportunity that I can prove my worth to the company and this
is my priority. I think Work follows money and money follows work. However, I can
adjust for money to some extent if the work is challenging and doing which gives me job
satisfaction.
15-Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor?
My supervisor was not an on-time person and many times this caused problems in the
project. This was the only thing I had problems with my supervisor.

16-Tell me about your ability to work under pressure?

It's funny to say I enjoy this situation sometimes, but not always. Pressure is a part of
my work. When there is an imperative deadline, I put my focus on my work which has
helped me to show my special ability, I stay focused and work fast under pressure.

17-What motivates you to do your best on the job?

I want to be successful in my job, both for my satisfaction and for my employer. When I
see my employer is satisfied I will be happy. and I like working with someone who lets
me do my job to the best of my knowledge and abilities.

18-How much is your salary expectation?

Thank you for considering my application. Based on my research and understanding of
the market rates for this position, as well as my skills and experience, I am looking for a
salary in the range of [provide a specific range, e.g., $X to $Y]. However, I am open to
discussing this further based on the overall compensation package and opportunities
for growth within the company.

19-If you have 2 equal positions in salary and benefits which one, do you opt?
My choice will depend on company grade and the number of development teams and
friendly relationship between company members. Also, in my opinion, the standard of
assignments and reviewing responsibilities are so important. I mean how we apply
Scrum. Technologies and design patterns are used in the company and company
investments for using new technologies are so important to me.

20-What was your last responsibility?

I worked as a backend and frontend developer for 5 years and also, I was in charge of
monitoring the members of the team and solving technical problems plus participating
in analysis particularly in financial analyses that I made some effective solutions.in
latest projects we used to .net core and angular with DDD pattern.

21-Would you like to travel?

Yes, of course, traveling especially in nature relieves me of stress and tiredness of work.
I am keen on traveling in a group.

22-If you gain this job position, do you have no problem with commuting?
No, I am going to move to my new place and there isn’t any problem.
23-Have you ever failed projects?
Yeas, it was an online taxi project and unfortunately despite it being interesting to me,
the project failed. Of course, it was a big project and I participated in some parts of the
project. In my opinion, there are a lot of reasons for failing the project and we cannot
say the name of a person or a reason for this but one of the main reasons was our
product owner. He could not manage his time and relationship with the client to gain
accurate information that finally with the client's unsatisfaction the project was put
aside by the client. also, exactly at this time, some international companies started their
online taxi projects in Iran, and it was another reason.

24-Can you explain a little about software what was that kind of product?
I think the provincial government was a challenging project for me. The main challenge
in this project was finding the most effective way to update the client's data and
database structure. In this project, there was one data center and more than a thousand
clients e.g 2500 clients in one province. The main issue was that the clients received
annual budget data and people's information from the server.in order not to be an extra
load on server we decided to keep an updated copy of data on clients also there was the
same issue in clints' database structure. Because every client had a distinct database.
Finally, we decided to save a script code of update data and database structure in the
server database. every client kept its last update record id.to inform clients immediately
after updating with changing users' session flag that the data have been updated and
updating process was done.

25 -Don’t you have a problem with working with women?

Of course not. I think it is a commonplace issue and also in my last position, I had high
interaction with my colleagues both men and women. Sorry for waiting for you: Your
company atmosphere/environment is fascinating. I had this chance to visit your
company/get familiarity with your company.

Do you have any questions for us?

Thanks for asking, I was wondering if you could describe a typical day in life for this
position? I am wondering which technologies and design patterns are used in your
company and company investments for using new technologies are so important to
me? Could you tell me a little about the organization? For example, how big is your
workforce here?
