In a few sentences, explain what the project was and the scope of your work. Imagine explaining your answer to a technical recruiter or a developer who you’d potentially be interviewing with who knows nothing about Turing. | |
The Pair Project, "Hang In There", asked the development team to create a multi-view application that enabled the user to interact wiht the page. The user was able to view a randomized motivational poster, and to create, display, save, and delete posters. | |
What is your approach to working on a team? (In your answer, provide an example from this project) | |
I played the role of leader and communicator/ delegator. I tend to grasp and articulate material well so that the team can narrow down the specific issue to expedite solution-finding. I like to read the entire rubric and spec, getting a feel for the project expectations as a whole. | |
