Interview
Interview
These are meant to assess your communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability.
📌 How to answer:
Mention your current learnership, the technologies you’ve used, and your passion for development.
💡 Example Answer:
"I’m Philadelphia, currently part of a full-stack development learnership where I’ve been working with
Angular, Node.js, Java, and PostgreSQL. I have experience building web applications, focusing on both
frontend and backend development. I enjoy problem-solving, collaborating with teams, and learning
new technologies. I’m particularly interested in writing efficient, scalable code and improving user
experience. Outside of coding, I like to explore UI/UX design principles and contribute to projects on
GitHub."
📌 How to answer:
Show how you stay calm, prioritize tasks, and use problem-solving.
💡 Example Answer:
"During our learnership, I had to complete a project with a tight deadline while learning Angular. I
managed my time by breaking tasks into smaller pieces, prioritizing the most critical features first, and
staying in constant communication with my team. By focusing on progress rather than stress, I
successfully delivered the project on time."
📌 How to answer:
💡 Example Answer:
"In our Movie Database project, I worked with my team to integrate the frontend and backend. I was
responsible for setting up the PostgreSQL database and ensuring the Node.js backend properly
communicated with it. We faced an issue with CORS errors, but by working together and debugging the
API calls, we resolved it. This experience taught me the importance of clear communication and
collaboration in development."
📌 How to answer:
Give an example of when you received constructive criticism and applied it.
💡 Example Answer:
"I see feedback as a chance to improve my skills. In one project, my mentor suggested I improve my
error-handling techniques in Node.js. I took that feedback seriously, researched better approaches, and
implemented centralized error handling, which made debugging much easier. Now, I actively seek
feedback to keep growing."
5. What would you do if you were assigned a task you didn’t know how to complete?
📌 How to answer:
💡 Example Answer:
"First, I would try to break down the task and see if I can find a solution through documentation or
online resources like MDN, Stack Overflow, or official docs. If I still struggle, I’d ask my team for guidance,
ensuring I first try to solve it on my own. Learning from challenges is part of development, and I enjoy
finding solutions."
💡 Example Answer:
"Angular is a full-fledged framework developed by Google, using TypeScript and providing built-in
features like dependency injection, routing, and form validation. React, on the other hand, is a library for
building UI components, developed by Facebook, relying on third-party libraries for state management
and routing. Angular is great for large-scale applications, while React is more flexible for component-
based development."
💡 Example Answer:
*"Angular supports two-way data binding, which means that changes in the UI update the component’s
state, and vice versa. It uses different binding techniques:
💡 Example Answer:
"Angular services are used to share logic and data across different components. They help in keeping the
application modular and maintainable by following the Single Responsibility Principle. Services are
injected into components using dependency injection, making it easy to reuse code such as API calls,
authentication, or state management."
💡 Example Answer:
Promises – A cleaner way to handle async code using .then() and .catch().
Async/Await – A modern approach that makes async code look synchronous, improving readability.
For example, in Node.js, using async/await for fetching data from a database:
javascript
Copy
Edit
try {
console.log(users);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
This ensures non-blocking I/O operations while keeping the code readable."*
10. What are the key differences between SQL and NoSQL databases?
💡 Example Answer:
Use Case Structured data (e.g., banking) Unstructured data (e.g., social media)
"Since we use PostgreSQL, we work with structured data and write queries using SQL."
💡 Example Answer:
Use Joins Efficiently – Use INNER JOIN instead of LEFT JOIN when possible.

✅ If you don’t know something, say how you would find the solution.
✅ Prepare a few questions for the interviewer (e.g., "What skills should I focus on to grow as a full-stack
developer?").
Would you like me to help you practice with a mock Q&A session? 😊
You said:
please give reallife example on the tech skills the example answer and reallife example
ChatGPT said:
Great idea, Philadelphia! I’ll provide real-life examples along with sample answers for each technical
question. These examples will be practical and relevant to your work as a full-stack developer.
📌 Example Answer:
"Angular supports two-way data binding, meaning changes in the UI update the component’s state and
vice versa. It uses interpolation ({{}}), property binding ([property]), event binding ((event)), and two-way
binding ([(ngModel)])."
🔹 Real-Life Example:
Imagine you’re working on a Movie App where users can search for movies.
You want the search bar to instantly display results as the user types.
You can use two-way binding with [(ngModel)] to sync the input field with the component.

📌 Example Answer:
"Angular services allow us to share logic across multiple components. They help in making HTTP API
calls, managing authentication, or handling shared state. Services are injected using Angular’s
dependency injection system."
🔹 Real-Life Example:
In your Movie App, you need to fetch movie data from an API and display it in multiple components.
Instead of making API calls in each component, you create a MovieService.
typescript
Copy
Edit
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
getMovies() {
return this.http.get(this.apiUrl);
Now, different components (e.g., MovieListComponent, MovieDetailComponent) can use this service to
get movies without duplicating code.
📌 Example Answer:
"Node.js handles asynchronous operations using callbacks, Promises, and async/await. Async operations
(like API calls or database queries) don’t block the execution thread, making Node.js highly efficient."
🔹 Real-Life Example:
Let’s say your Movie App needs to fetch movie data from PostgreSQL. Instead of blocking execution, you
use async/await to fetch the data asynchronously.
javascript
Copy
Edit
try {
res.json(movies.rows);
} catch (error) {
Now, the server can continue processing other requests while waiting for the database query.
📌 Example Answer:
"To optimize a slow SQL query, I would use indexing, avoid SELECT *, optimize joins, and analyze
performance using EXPLAIN ANALYZE."
🔹 Real-Life Example:
Your Movie App has a database table with 1 million movies, and searching for a movie by title is slow:
sql
Copy
Edit
Copy
Edit
Now, searches for Inception will be much faster since PostgreSQL doesn’t have to scan the entire table.
5. What are the key differences between SQL and NoSQL databases?
📌 Example Answer:
"SQL (PostgreSQL) uses structured tables, while NoSQL (MongoDB) is document-based and better for
unstructured data."
🔹 Real-Life Example:
SQL Example:
sql
Copy
Edit
);
NoSQL Example:
json
Copy
Edit
"conversationId": "12345",
"messages": [
👉 Use SQL for structured data like user accounts and transactions.
📌 Example Answer:
"I use Git for version control to track changes, collaborate with my team, and maintain a clean codebase.
I follow Git best practices like using branches (feature-branch), writing meaningful commit messages,
and resolving merge conflicts properly."
🔹 Real-Life Example:
You and your team are working on the Movie App. You need to add a Watchlist Feature without affecting
the main app.
1️⃣ Create a new branch:
sh
Copy
Edit
sh
Copy
Edit
git add .
sh
Copy
Edit
📌 Example Answer:
"To secure a web application, I would use HTTPS, input validation, authentication (JWT), encryption, and
prevent SQL injection."
🔹 Real-Life Example:
Your Movie App has a login feature. To prevent SQL Injection, avoid writing queries like:
sql
Copy
Edit
javascript
Copy
Edit
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = $1 AND password = $2';
✅ Structure your answers: Explain what the concept is, why it’s important, and give a real-life example.
✅ Be confident and clear: If you’re unsure, say, “I’m not sure, but I would look it up in the documentation
or ask a senior developer.”
✅ Demonstrate problem-solving: Talk about how you approached challenges in past projects.
Would you like to practice a mock interview where I ask questions, and you answer in real-time? 😊

ABSA interview?"
This will help you refine your answers before the real interview!
Would you like help with specific technical questions they might ask? 😊
You said:
yes
ChatGPT said:
Since you’ll be interviewed for a Full-Stack Developer role at ABSA, they’ll likely ask about both frontend
and backend concepts, database knowledge, and best practices. Below are common technical questions,
how to answer them, and real-life examples!
✅ Answer:
"Angular is a frontend framework used for building dynamic, single-page applications (SPAs). It provides
features like two-way data binding, dependency injection, and a component-based structure, making it
efficient for large-scale applications."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In one of our projects, we built a dashboard using Angular. The two-way data binding helped us update
UI elements dynamically whenever the backend data changed without needing to refresh the page."
2️⃣ Question: What are some advantages of using Tailwind CSS over traditional CSS?
✅ Answer:
"Tailwind CSS is a utility-first framework that allows developers to apply styles directly in HTML without
writing separate CSS files. It speeds up development, improves maintainability, and eliminates unused
styles through tree-shaking."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our last project, we used Tailwind to quickly style the UI components of our application. Instead of
writing custom CSS files, we could apply predefined classes directly, making styling much faster and more
consistent."
3️⃣ Question: Explain how JavaScript handles asynchronous operations.
✅ Answer:
"JavaScript uses callbacks, Promises, and async/await to handle asynchronous operations. Promises
allow us to execute code once a task is completed, while async/await makes it easier to write readable
asynchronous code."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our movie app project, we needed to fetch movie data from an API. Instead of using callbacks (which
can lead to callback hell), we used async/await with fetch() to retrieve data asynchronously and display it
on the frontend."
✅ Answer:
"REST APIs return fixed data structures, while GraphQL allows clients to request specific data fields,
reducing over-fetching and under-fetching of data."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In a previous project, we used REST for our movie API, but we noticed that some endpoints returned
unnecessary data. If we had used GraphQL, we could have requested only the specific fields we needed,
making our API calls more efficient."
5️⃣ Question: How does Spring Boot simplify backend development in Java?
✅ Answer:
"Spring Boot provides built-in configurations, an embedded server, and dependency management,
making it easier to develop and deploy Java-based applications."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our Employee Management System, we used Spring Boot to build REST APIs. Spring Boot’s built-in
features, like automatic configuration and dependency injection, helped us quickly set up a secure
backend with minimal boilerplate code."
✅ Answer:
"Normalization is the process of structuring a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.
It ensures that data is stored efficiently and avoids duplication."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our movie database, we applied normalization by creating separate tables for movies, genres, and
actors, reducing repeated data and improving query performance."
7️⃣ Question: How do you optimize SQL queries for better performance?
✅ Answer:
*"To optimize SQL queries, we can use indexing, avoid SELECT , use proper joins, and analyze execution
plans to identify bottlenecks."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"While working on our PostgreSQL database, we noticed slow query performance. We optimized it by
adding indexes on frequently searched columns, which reduced the query execution time significantly."
8️⃣ Question: What is the difference between Git Merge and Git Rebase?
✅ Answer:
"Git Merge combines two branches while preserving the commit history, whereas Git Rebase moves or
replays commits from one branch onto another to maintain a linear history."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"While collaborating on our project, we used Git Merge to integrate feature branches into the main
branch, but when cleaning up our commit history, we used Git Rebase to keep it linear and readable."
✅ Answer:
"A merge conflict occurs when two branches modify the same file. To resolve it, I would open the
conflicted file, manually edit the conflicting sections, save the changes, and commit the resolved file."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"While working on our project, two developers edited the same HTML file, causing a merge conflict. We
resolved it by discussing which version to keep, making the necessary edits, and committing the final
version."
🔟 Question: Tell me about a time you faced a technical challenge and how you solved it.
✅ Answer:
"In our project, we faced an issue where the frontend wasn’t displaying real-time updates from the
backend. After debugging, we realized the issue was due to improper state management in Angular. We
fixed it by implementing RxJS Observables to handle real-time data updates."
✅ Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) when giving examples.
✅ If you don’t know an answer, be honest but explain how you’d find the solution.
🔥 Next Steps:
Would you like me to help with mock answers for behavioral (soft skills) questions, or do you want to
practice answering technical questions with me? 😊

ChatGPT said:
Since you’re preparing for a Full-Stack Developer interview at ABSA, they might ask questions about Java,
Spring Boot, Agile methodologies, and best practices in software development. Below are common
technical and Agile questions, how to answer them, and real-life examples!
☕ Java Questions
✅ Answer:
"Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language known for its platform independence,
memory management (Garbage Collection), multithreading, and security."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our project, we used Java because of its portability. Our backend was built using Spring Boot, and
since Java runs on any system with the JVM, we didn’t have to worry about compatibility issues when
deploying the application."
2️⃣ Question: What is the difference between an interface and an abstract class?
✅ Answer:
An abstract class can have both abstract and concrete methods and allows constructors.
An interface only has method signatures (before Java 8) and supports multiple inheritance.
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our Employee Management System, we used an interface (EmployeeRepository) to define database
queries with Spring Data JPA. This allowed us to separate database logic from business logic, following
the SOLID principle."
✅ Answer:
"Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern in which the Spring container automatically injects
dependencies into a class, reducing tight coupling between components."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our Spring Boot project, we used DI to inject the UserService into our UserController instead of
creating new instances manually. This made our code modular, testable, and easy to maintain."
4️⃣ Question: What are RESTful APIs, and how do you implement them in Spring Boot?
✅ Answer:
"RESTful APIs allow communication between systems using HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). In
Spring Boot, we use the @RestController annotation to create REST APIs."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our Employee Management System, we created an API to retrieve employee details. We used Spring
Boot’s @GetMapping("/employees") to expose employee data in JSON format."
5️⃣ Question: What is the difference between checked and unchecked exceptions in Java?
✅ Answer:
Checked exceptions (like IOException) must be handled using try-catch or declared with throws.
Unchecked exceptions (like NullPointerException) occur at runtime and don’t need explicit handling.
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our project, we handled SQLException (a checked exception) when connecting to PostgreSQL to
prevent the application from crashing due to database connection failures."
✅ Answer:
"Agile is a software development methodology that focuses on iterative development, collaboration, and
flexibility. It allows teams to quickly adapt to changes and deliver functional software in smaller
increments."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our team, we used Agile and followed Scrum practices. We had daily stand-up meetings to track
progress, and every two weeks, we delivered new features in a sprint, ensuring continuous
improvement."
7️⃣ Question: What are the key differences between Agile and Waterfall?
✅ Answer:
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"During our learnership, we used Agile because it allowed us to improve features based on feedback. In
contrast, a Waterfall approach would have required us to finalize all requirements upfront, which
wouldn’t work well for an evolving project."
8️⃣ Question: What are Scrum ceremonies, and why are they important?
✅ Answer:
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"In our project, daily stand-ups helped us track progress, and sprint retrospectives allowed us to reflect
on what we could improve for the next sprint."
✅ Answer:
"A user story is a short, simple description of a feature from an end-user perspective, following the
format:
🌍 Real-Life Example:
🔟 Question: What tools have you used for Agile project management?
✅ Answer:
"We used JIRA/Trello to manage tasks, track progress, and prioritize user stories."
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"During our project, we used Trello to track tasks. Each team member picked a card, moved it from 'To
Do' to 'In Progress' and then to 'Done,' which kept everyone aligned."
1️⃣1️⃣ Question: Tell me about a time you worked in a team to complete a project.
✅ Answer:
"In our team, we developed a web application using Angular and Spring Boot. We divided tasks based on
strengths, had daily stand-ups to track progress, and used GitHub for version control. Collaboration
helped us complete the project efficiently."
✅ Answer:
🌍 Real-Life Example:
"We once had a disagreement on the best way to structure our database. Instead of arguing, we
researched best practices, discussed the pros and cons, and agreed on the best approach."
Technical Questions:
1️⃣ "What technologies does the ABSA team use most frequently?"
2️⃣ "Can you tell me about a recent technical challenge the team faced and how they solved it?"
3️⃣ "Does the team follow any coding standards or best practices?"
4️⃣ "How does the team apply Agile methodologies in daily workflows?"
5️⃣ "What tools do you use for Agile project tracking and version control?"
7️⃣ "What do you look for in a developer transitioning from a learnership to full-time work?"

💡 HTML Questions
A: HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create web pages. It provides
the structure for web content using elements like headings, paragraphs, images, and links. Without
HTML, web browsers wouldn't know how to display content on a webpage.
✅ Real-Life Example:
A resume builder website uses HTML to define sections like Personal Details, Work Experience, and Skills
so that users can fill in their details and generate a resume.
A:
<div> is a block-level element used for grouping multiple elements and taking up the full width available.
<span> is an inline element used for styling a specific part of text inside a block.

How does your team handle CSS organization (e.g., BEM, Tailwind, SCSS)?
Would you like hands-on exercises where you fix common HTML & CSS mistakes or improve a website
layout? 🚀

A: Git is a version control system that allows developers to track changes in code, collaborate with a
team, and manage different versions of a project efficiently. It helps prevent data loss and makes it easier
to revert changes if needed.
✅ Real-Life Example:
Imagine working on a team project where multiple developers update the same file. Git ensures that
changes don't overwrite each other and allows developers to merge their work seamlessly.
A:
GitHub is a cloud-based platform that hosts Git repositories for remote collaboration.
✅ Real-Life Example:
A company uses Git to track changes in the codebase locally and pushes updates to GitHub so team
members can access the latest version from anywhere.
3️⃣ What is the difference between git pull and git fetch?
A:
git fetch downloads changes from the remote repository but does not update the working directory.
git pull downloads changes and updates the working directory immediately.
✅ Real-Life Example:
A developer working remotely wants to check the latest updates from the team but doesn’t want to
merge them yet. They use git fetch. Later, when they are ready to update, they use git pull.
A: A merge conflict happens when two developers make changes to the same part of a file, and Git
doesn't know which version to keep.
bash
Copy
Edit
git add .
✅ Real-Life Example:
Two developers edit the homepage HTML file at the same time. Git detects a conflict and asks them to
manually fix it before merging.
A: A branch is a separate copy of the codebase used for developing new features without affecting the
main code.
✅ Real-Life Example:
A developer working on a new login feature creates a branch (feature-login), works on it, and merges it
into the main branch once complete.
bash
Copy
Edit
6️⃣ What is the difference between git merge and git rebase?
A:
git rebase moves changes to the tip of another branch, creating a linear history.
✅ Real-Life Example:
If a developer has worked on a bug fix branch and wants to keep a cleaner commit history, they use git
rebase instead of git merge.
A: git stash temporarily saves uncommitted changes without committing them. It allows you to switch
branches without losing work.
✅ Real-Life Example:
A developer is working on a new feature but suddenly needs to fix a bug on another branch. Instead of
committing incomplete work, they use git stash:
bash
Copy
Edit
git stash # Save changes
bash
Copy
Edit
A:
bash
Copy
Edit
bash
Copy
Edit

Edit
✅ Real-Life Example:
A developer accidentally commits unfinished code. They use git reset --soft to undo the commit while
keeping their changes.
A: .gitignore is a file that tells Git which files or folders to ignore, preventing them from being tracked.
✅ Real-Life Example:
A developer excludes environment files (.env) and node_modules/ from Git because they don’t need to
be shared in the repository.
bash
Copy
Edit
# .gitignore file
node_modules/
.env
1️⃣0️⃣ What is the difference between git clone and git fork?
A:
git clone makes a local copy of a repository but keeps it linked to the original.
git fork creates a personal copy of a repository on GitHub, allowing independent changes.
✅ Real-Life Example:
A developer contributes to an open-source project by forking the repo, making changes, and submitting
a pull request.

Each component is independent and reusable, making it easy to build modular applications.
Imagine you're building an e-commerce website with Angular. You need a "Product Card" that displays
product details like name, price, and an "Add to Cart" button.
You can create a ProductCardComponent, which will be responsible for displaying product information.
🔹 Component Breakdown:
typescript
Copy
Edit
@Component({
selector: 'app-product-card',
templateUrl: './product-card.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./product-card.component.css']
})
addToCart() {
html
Copy
Edit
<div class="product-card">
</div>
css
Copy
Edit
.product-card {
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
text-align: center;
Real-World Application
A large shopping website like Amazon or Takealot uses multiple product cards on a page. Instead of
coding each one separately, they reuse the ProductCardComponent across the entire app, making it
scalable and maintainable.
Would you like me to give another example, like a Navbar Component or User Profile Component? 🚀

A: A service in Angular is a reusable class that contains business logic, data fetching, and shared
functionality that can be used across multiple components. It helps in separating concerns and
maintaining modularity.
Imagine you're building a movie app that fetches movies from an API. Instead of calling the API in every
component, you create a MovieService that handles API requests and provides data to multiple
components.
typescript
Copy
Edit
@Injectable({
})
getMovies(): Observable<any> {
typescript
Copy
Edit
@Component({
selector: 'app-movie-list',
templateUrl: './movie-list.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./movie-list.component.css']
})
this.movieService.getMovies().subscribe(data => {
});
A: An Observable is a data stream that allows you to handle asynchronous operations like API calls, user
inputs, or real-time updates. It is part of RxJS (Reactive Extensions for JavaScript) and helps manage data
flow over time.
Imagine you're developing a real-time stock market app. The stock prices change dynamically, and you
need to update the UI without refreshing the page. An Observable can continuously listen for stock price
changes and update the UI accordingly.
Copy
Edit
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
getStockPrice(): Observable<number> {
return interval(1000).pipe(
map(() => Math.random() * 1000) // Generates a random stock price every second
);
typescript
Copy
Edit
selector: 'app-stock',
})
stockPrice: number = 0;
ngOnInit() {
this.stockService.getStockPrice().subscribe(price => {
});
typescript
Copy
Edit
@Injectable({
})
log(message: string) {
console.log('LOG:', message);
typescript
Copy
Edit
selector: 'app-home',
})
logMessage() {
