Self introduction in interview for experienced candidates software - Simple way

Interviewer: Can you explain about yourself and technical experience?

You: Hi, I am Satish, I have around 10 years of Work experience in Microsoft Technologies mainly in C#, ASP.NET and SQL Server.

I have good exposure on creating Web applications and windows application with different domains like logistics, financial and Health care.

I have been working in Company name for the past 2 years and my current project is Project name.

Coming to my technical experience so far

I have involved in all phases of the projects like designing, developing, testing and deploying activities.

In this current project my key responsibilities are

• Involved in coding and developing functionalities.

• Involved in bug fixes and resolving PEN Test Issues

• Involved in implementing Thycotic server and Logging using log4net and integration with Application insight. 

• we are making sure to coverage Unit test cases for all the fixes/enhancements we have done.

This is pretty much from my side.

Cross Questions:

Interviewer: What are PEN Test issues can you explain little bit more on this?

You: In our organization for every release, third party company will perform the scan regarding our application security check and vulnerabilities. if they found any issues, they send the report based on that we fix the issues.

For example: They test in Post man and burp tool, they try to add some payload to xml request like <!DOCTYPE>, so we should take care of while sending request to Apis we should validate. similarly, remove Unwanted HTTP Response headers in the response, for this we can configure in IIS.

Interviewer: What is Thycotic Server?

You: Generally, all the SQL Server credentials and configurations mentioned in the Web.Config. for security reasons this company approaches Thycotic server to store all the Staging and Productions SQL credentials Thycotic team share the keys instead of username and password. So, it provides one more layer of the security.

Interviewer: You said, you have covered the UNIT Test cases? which framework you are using MSTest or XUnit?

You: we use MSTest that comes with Visual studio, and we follow the Test-Driven Development.

whenever before the working on any issue or feature, we write UNIT test case obviously that fails we call it as RED test case and took a screenshot and attach to the user story. once the issue or feature has been resolved we run again this time it passes we call it is GREEN test case.

Interviewer: Can you tell me the which process you are following the current project and how you deal with daily tasks?

You: we follow Scrum process, we work on Sprints

we have Backlog refine meetings we discuss among the team members and assign some story points based on the complexity, at the time of sprint planning based on the bandwidth of the team members we pick the stories, and we have Daily scrum meeting we update the status there how the work is going on and raise any concerns/blockers.

Note: Use the words like PEN test or Thycotic Server or Logging (use your own concepts, something you are good at) which you are familiar, and you are comfortable to answer, this could be a trick to take the interviewer to ask the questions something you are good at.
