Resume Tip
Resume tip

Tip 1 : One of the key resume writing tips is to explain your past duties through bullet points. You should write roughly five bullet points for each position. 
Tip 2 : Your hiring manager wants to know about your strengths and skills (as long as they’re relevant to the job), so make it easy for them to see that information on your resume. Create a separate skill section and list 5 or 6 key ones.

Coding problem2

It was basically to test dev skills and problem solving. Interviewr was very nice and my interview was mid day. It went around 1 and half hours.

1. System Design Question

How to design an Api and what are the basic components of an Api in springboot.

Problem approach

Tip 1: You should have practice on making API, So you can refer GFG for practicing.
Tip 2: What some tutorial for mock interviews, that helps a lot to clear concepts and also gives idea about what kind of questions can be asked.
Tip 3: I f you don't know any answer just say No, don't try to guess, beause they are smart enough to catch.

Livekeeping (An IndiaMART Company)IBMMcAfee

You are given a string ‘S’. You are also given ‘M’ integers in an array ‘A’. You perform ‘M’ operations on this string. The operations are given in an array ‘A’ of size ‘M’.

You perform the operations in the order they appear in the array ‘A’. In the ‘i’th operation, you reverse the substring of ‘S’ from the position ‘A[i]’ to ‘len(S)’ - ‘A[i]’ - 1 (0 based).

Your task is to find the string after performing all the operations.

Example :
‘S’ = “aabcd”, ‘M’ = 2, ‘A’ = [0, 1]
After 1st operation i.e, reversing from [0, 4], ‘S’ = “dcbaa”.
After 2nd operation i.e, reversing from [1, 3], ‘S’ = “dabca”.
Hence, the answer is “dabca”.
Problem approach

Tip 1: Stick to basics , don't go to deep in DSA for such kind of organisation, they basically focus on basics and your dev skills
Tip 2: try to speak while writing code.
Tip 3: Expalin your logic first then proceed for solving question.
