Alt question and people

  • Solve an anagram ( to make a function that shows it is a true or false anagram)
  • To do a factorial of numbers (like they give number 5 and you need to give a result 5 _ 4 _ 3 _ 2 _ 1 = 120)
  • Copy a home page on CSS and Html from the company you are doing the interview (make sure you looked at their page)
  • Make a page like youtube using HTML and Javascript (like they give me a list of videos and I need to show this on the page and make this work to play and to go next video)
  • You need to make a function using recursion, you have a number parameter and you need to return the sum of all even numbers by this number. (like 8 should be 20 [2, 4, 6, 8 = 20 ])

Questions to ask after the interview:

  • Why do you like working here? Reason: To identify the strength areas (culture, salary, people etc) to read the person and understand if the interviewer is lying or is telling the truth.

  • Why are you hiring in software development? Reason: To understand the current situation in that particular area of the company. Whether they fired somebody or expanded the team cause the project has grown.
