Let's get started. The first question that I want you to prepare for is, introduce yourself
and tell me why you want to become a Java Developer? Now, my advice is to prepare a
strong, confident answer that talks about the different skills and qualities you have
that will enable you to perform to a high standard in this Java Developer role for their
company. Here's my sample answer to help you. Here we go. “I have been a Java Developer
for a number of years now and since I first started work, I have constantly sought to
improve and develop my skills. I am proficient with programming languages; I have an inquisitive
nature that ensures I analyze my work and the problems I encounter in detail; I am quick
to learn new concepts and can apply them to a variety of situations, and I am a strong
team worker who can collaborate with and work alongside others to complete challenging projects
and also resolve complex issues and problems. I am highly self-motivated, technically astute
and you can rely on me to get up to speed quickly in the role whilst being a cooperative,
responsive and adaptable member of your team.” So, if you prepare an answer similar to that
in preparation for your Java Developer interview, then it will help you to answer the questions
in a better manner than all of the other competitors. I'm going to give you answers to that standard,
to all questions that follow. The next one is: Why do you want to work for our company
as a Java Developer? Now, the great thing about this type of Java Developer interview
question is, it is guaranteed to come up early on during your interview. Therefore, it is
easy for you to prepare a genuine, unique answer to it that stands out from the other
candidates. Here again is my suggested answer to help you prepare. Why do you want to work
for our company as a Java Developer? Here we go. “Although I do get engrossed in my
work as a Java Developer, the company I work for is still very important to me. I must
feel supported in my work; I want to feel like I am continually growing and improving,
and I want to know that I am contributing to the wider team goals. Therefore, before
applying to become a Java Developer with your company, I spent quite a bit of time researching
your values, your products and services and the likely job satisfaction levels I will
have if I work for you. During my research, everything pointed to the fact that this is
a great place to work. You are ambitious, you set high standards, you are creative and
innovative, and you clearly support your staff so they can be the best they possibly can
be. I genuinely want to work here, and I feel it will be somewhere I can stay working at
for a long period of time.” Another really strong answer that sets you aside from all
of the competition! Now, don't go anywhere because I still have more questions and answers
to work through with you. But when you are ready, if you want to CLICK THAT LINK in the

and you can download my full set of 25 Java Developer interview questions and top-scoring
answers, including the ones we are working through together today. But let's take a look
at another question to help you. Tell me about a time when you had to work under pressure?
Now, this Java Developer interview question is assessing your ability to think on your
feet, respond to challenges, manage a large workload and use your initiative to solve
technical problems. And as you and I know, whilst working as a Java Developer, you have
to work under pressure on many occasions. So, here's a great answer to help you. “I
was recently involved in a contractual development architecture project helping to create guidance
that would make best use of organizational IT resources for a large organization. The
project had a definitive timescale for completion, but we ran into problems half-way through
the project due to the fact two experienced members of the team went off sick pretty much
at the same time. There was no option to push back the project deadline and I fully understood
how important it was to get everything completed so the organization could move forward. They’d
already had problems with previous projects, so I was keen to get it over the line for
them. I analyzed the tasks the two team members were working on and I decided to outsource
their project areas by using an experienced engineer from the website UpWork.com. I chose
a top-rated engineer at a competitive price and I provided a clear and definitive brief
of what needed to be done and by what timeframe. By using my initiative, by remaining calm
and by focusing purely on completing the project to a high standard, I was able to get everything
finished and submitted to the IT Manager just before the deadline.” So that shows that
you can respond positively to challenging situations. You don't just pass it on to someone
else to deal with. You use your initiative. You think outside the box and you get the
project or the task completed! Here's the next question. What is meant by the term “platform
independent” and how is it related to Java? Now, of course, in addition to preparing answers
to motivational and behavioral type Java Developer interview questions, you will also need to
answer a number of technical related questions, too. So, here's my suggested answer to this
common Java Developer interview question. “The term “platform independent” means
that a programming language is dependent on any one platform to run. In other words, once
the code has been compiled, it can then be executed on any platform or operating system.
One of the great things about Java is that it is platform-independent. It achieves this
because the Java compiler is able to convert code to bytecode, this bytecode can then run
on any operating system or platform using Java Virtual Machine (JVM).” Another example
of a Java developer technical question is: In Java, what is meant by the term ‘wrapper
classes’? “Wrapper classes are used in Java to create objects. Essentially, they
tell Java primitives to change into reference types – objects. The reason it gets the
name “Wrapper Classes” is because they “wrap” around the primitive data to form
an object in the class of the primitive data that has been associated to it.” Those are
two examples of Java technical questions. I'll tell you where you can get more questions
and answers in a second. But let's move back to another Java Developer common motivational
question. And that is: Why should we hire you in this Java Developer role? Now, again,
this is another guaranteed Java Developer interview question that will feature towards
the end of your particular interview. Here's a great way to answer it. Here we go. “I
believe you should hire me because not only is my technical competence to a high standard,
I am also commercially aware, and I understand I need to perform to a consistently high standard
for you to succeed as a business. I am also flexible, a supportive collaborator and team
worker and somebody who can be left alone to get on with their work safe in the knowledge
it will be done on time and to the right standard. I fully appreciate you have lots of Java Developer’s
to choose from, but I genuinely feel I am the perfect candidate due to my diverse range
of skills, my technical expertise and my strong interpersonal and teamworking capabilities.”
That's a really strong, positive, and confident answer that is likely to impress the hiring
manager! Now, the next thing to do is please do CLICK THAT LINK at the top right-hand corner
