development process issues encountered during sprints.
Interview tip
In every interview, you will likely be asked, “Why do you want to work here?”
and “Why this role?” Use these interview tips to craft the perfect answer to
these common questions.
“Why are you interested in this role?”
I recently participated in Cognizant’s Agile job simulation on the Forage
platform, and it was incredibly useful to understand what it might be like to
participate in a scrum at Cognizant and to apply Agile concepts in a
hypothetical app development context.
Through this program I realised that I really enjoy thinking through customer
needs for app features and functionalities and how they will be impacted by
certain variables, working with typical tools available for Agile ALM and
resolving common issues that arise during a sprint. I’d love to apply what
I’ve learned in a scrum team at Cognizant.
