0:00demand for Source developers is high and0:02growing as Source becomes increasingly0:04essential to businesses of all sizes the0:07technologies that power it are0:09constantly evolving this means that the0:12skills and experience required for0:13Salesforce development are also0:15constantly0:21changing to be successful in a Sal0:24Source developer job interview it is0:26important to have a strong understanding0:28of the platform this includes knowledge0:30of the source development life cycle the0:33different Source Technologies and the0:35best practices for salesource0:36development in this video I'm going to0:39take you through some Sals developer0:41interview questions which I hope will0:43help you better understand what you may0:45be asked of in a Sal Source developer0:47job interview and what kind of responses0:49will get you a thumbs up without further0:52Ado let's get into0:53it hi there welcome to the interview0:56Andrew thank you for coming in can I get0:57you a glass of water or anything no I'm0:59good thank thank you okay then let's get1:01started sounds good so the first1:03question what is the sell Source order1:05of execution yeah so the Sal Source1:08order of execution is a set of rules1:10that describe what events happen when a1:13record is saved in Sal source so for1:15example if you have validation rules1:17flows Apex triggers Etc there's a1:20consistent sequence in which these1:22events get triggered perfect thank you1:25this is important to understand when1:26designing Solutions as well as when you1:29are TR shooting1:31issues next question can you describe1:34what Apex is and why it is required in1:36some scenarios so Source has a huge1:39variety of declarative tools at is1:40disposable for admins but the primary1:42reason that developers are brought into1:44the picture is to code uh so Apex takes1:47the spotlight as Sal source's main1:49backend programming language empowering1:51developers to craft intricate1:54automations within the Salesforce1:56platform so instances where Apex1:58prevails over declarative tools involve2:01things like crafting sophisticated2:03business process logic that exceeds the2:05capabilities of declarative automation2:07like float uh seamlessly integrating2:09souths with external systems and2:12designing tailor made email services to2:14meet specific needs this response2:17effectively explains that while Source2:19provides powerful declarative tools for2:21admins developers are crucial for coding2:24tasks Apex as salesforce's primary2:27back-end programming language empowers2:29develop is to create intricate2:31automation the summary emphasizes that2:33Apex becomes essential in scenarios2:36where complex business logic seamless2:38external system integration and2:40customized email services are required2:43showcasing its unique role alongside2:46declarative Tools in Salesforce2:48development uh next question what are2:50the different events for an Apex2:52Trigger so in salce triggers are2:55categorized into two main types you've2:57got before and you've got after uh3:00before triggers execute their logic3:02before record is say to the database and3:04they're great for tasks like performing3:06calculations and validations specific to3:08the same record being saved uh after3:11Triggers on the other hand uh run their3:13logic after the record has been saved so3:15they're typically used when you need to3:17work with records other than the one3:19that triggered the process so now these3:22triggers can be further tailored based3:23on the type of operation they respond to3:26uh there are four main trigger3:27operations so we have insert update3:30delete and undelete so this fine grain3:33control allows you to customize triggers3:35to activate only when explicitly needed3:38enhancing the efficiency and precision3:41of your cell3:44automation uh what is the difference3:46between visual force and lightning3:48development so in Sal SCE development3:50both visual force and lightning Serv as3:52Frameworks for crafting custom user3:54interfaces uh but they come from3:56different eras and have distinct3:58characteristics so so visual Force took4:00center stage during the salour classic4:02era uh relying on tag-based markup4:05language similar to HTML uh developers4:08utilized visual Force tags to create4:10custom4:11interfaces however it had its4:12limitations especially in terms of4:14responsi and4:17modularity then comes lightning so this4:19framework represents source's modern4:21approach to user interface development4:23so lightning is component based4:25leveraging contemporary web Technologies4:27like HTML uh JavaScript and CSS uh the4:30move to lightning signified a shift4:32towards a more modular maintainable and4:35dynamic user experience uh departure4:38from the relatively monolithic structure4:41of visual Force so when it comes to the4:43difference between visual force and4:44lightning it's not just about the syntax4:47it's a paradigm shift so lightning4:49empowers developers to create highly4:51interactive mobile friendly applications4:54with a focus on reusability and4:56responsiveness while visual Force may4:58still be in play especially in some5:01classic setups lightning has become the5:03preferred choice for crafting Cutting5:05Edge user interfaces in the ever5:07evolving salour5:09ecosystem and what is the difference5:11between Aura components and lightning5:13web5:14components this is a question that could5:16be asked as a follow-up to the previous5:18one lightning web components were5:19originally released alongside lightning5:21experience back in 2014 so they comprise5:24two files a markup file and a controller5:26file the markup file defines the HTML5:30and CSS for the component while the5:32controller file defines the JavaScript5:34Logic for the5:36component on the other hand AA5:38components were released in early5:402019 and use an updated web standards5:43based framework so lightning web5:45components are made up of a single file5:47that contains both the5:49HTML uh CSS and JavaScript for the5:52components been built on top of the web5:54component standard they're more portable5:55and interoperable uh with other5:57Frameworks so AA component are also6:00typically faster and easier to develop6:02than lightning web components this6:04answer is actually incorrect it was AA6:07components that were originally released6:09alongside lightning experience back in6:112014 and comprises of an HTML and CSS6:15markup file and a JavaScript controller6:17file lightning web components were6:19released in early 2019 and are more6:22portable and interoperable with other6:24web Frameworks also typically being6:27faster and easier to develop than or6:30components what are Governor limits and6:32how do you handle them in6:33Salesforce Governor limits in salesource6:36are essential for maintaining system6:38performance and resource control uh to6:40handle them effectively I Implement best6:43practices in my development work so for6:45instance when dealing with large data6:46sets I bulky the code uh processing6:49records in batches rather than6:51individually uh making sure I'm6:52optimizing resource usage so furthermore6:56I minimize the use of soccer queries to6:58reduce the the risk of hitting limits7:01associated with query usage so instead7:03of running multiple queries in a loop7:05I'll retrieve the necessary data in a7:07single query uh conserving system7:10resources uh in addition I proactively7:13monitor resource consumption by7:14utilizing sou for's limits class7:17enabling real time checks on limits7:19during runtime this allows me to make7:22adjustments as needed to prevent7:23exceeding limits by following these best7:26practices and remaining mindful of7:28Governor limits I'm ensuring the smooth7:30and efficient operation of custom7:32applications without compromising system7:35performance providing a seamless user7:39experience this response to the question7:41about southall's Governor limit stands7:43out for its comprehensive understanding7:45and practical strategies the candidate7:48not only defines Governor limits but7:50emphasizes their critical role in7:52preserving system performance and7:54resource control the mention of bulk7:56ifying the code for large data sets7:58showcased is a proactive optimization8:01approach while the strategy to minimize8:04socker queries aligns with best8:05practices to prevent hitting query8:07limits what makes this answer8:09particularly strong is the candidate's8:11commitment to realtime monitoring using8:14sales source's limits class this8:17demonstrates a proactive stance in8:18identifying and addressing potential8:20limit breaches during runtime while8:22employing these strategies the candidate8:25ensures a seamless user experience and8:27efficient operation of custom8:29applications in Salesforce while8:31steering clear of Governor limit related8:33challenges overall the response combines8:36a solid theoretical foundation with8:38practical best practice orientated8:40approaches showcasing the candidates8:43expertise in handling Governor limits8:46effectively how do you handle security8:49and data privacy in souforce in souforce8:52I employ a diverse set of tools and8:54strategies to bolster data security this8:57involves tailoring custom profile files8:59for distinct user roles and enabling or9:02restricting access to specific objects9:04and Fields for instance in healthcare I9:07might create a specialized profile like9:09physician and billing to regulate access9:12to patient records and billing9:14information respectively to enhance9:16flexibility I utilize permission sets9:19granting temporary access to specific9:21Fields such as doctor's notes without9:23altering a user's entire profile9:25effective data management also hinges on9:27role hierarchies which I Lish to govern9:30data visibility for example in a sales9:33team I can figure hierarchies to ensure9:36that sales representatives can only9:37access their own leads while their9:39managers can view All Leads across the9:41team field level security serves as an9:43additional Safeguard allowing me to9:45control access to sensitive data like a9:47patient social security number moreover9:50I Implement record level security9:52through criteria based sharing rules9:54which restrict access to patient records9:56solely for the members of their care9:58team uh reinforcing patient10:01privacy on the data privacy front I'm10:03well versed in Regulatory Compliance10:05such as gdpr I leverage Sal sources10:08tools to facilitate adherence including10:11configuring data retention policies to10:13automatically remove unnecessary data10:15and ensuring compliance with gdpr's10:17right to be forgotten requirement10:20additionally I'm proficient in employing10:22data encryption which proves essential10:24in scenarios like the financial sector10:26where safeguarding sensitive financial10:28data Paramount this encryption ensures10:31that even in the event of unauthorized10:33access the data remains confidential and10:35secure providing a detailed answer to10:38this question is essential for10:39showcasing a

Source11:47Integrations absolutely I've got11:49hands-on experience when it comes to11:50salesource Integrations um I've11:52successfully integrated CS with a range11:54of thirdparty systems including11:57marketing automation tools and11:58accounting software in these12:00Integrations I've utilized both rest and12:03soap apis to establish smooth data12:05exchange processes one notable aspect of12:08my experience is the development of12:10custom connectors uh these connectors12:13play a crucial role in Insurance12:14seamless communication between salol and12:17external platforms uh by tailoring these12:20connectors to the specific needs of the12:22Integrations I've been able to enhance12:24efficiency data accuracy and overall12:26system performance more over I'm well12:29versed in addressing the challenges that12:31can arise during Integrations such as12:33handling authentication protocols12:36managing data Transformations and12:38implementing error handling12:40mechanisms this comprehensive approach12:42ensures that the Integrations not only12:44meet technical requirements but also12:47align with the broader business12:48objectives to sum up my experience with12:51salesource integration extends Beyond12:53mere data exchange it involves the12:55Strategic use of apis the creation of12:58customer custom connectors and the fer13:00understanding of the nuances involved in13:03ensuring a harmonious relationship13:05between salol and various external13:08systems can you describe a complex13:11salesource project you've worked on and13:13the challenges you faced with it in one13:15project we needed to automate a highly13:17customizable approval process for a13:20client in healthcare sector the13:22challenge was to accommodate yet their13:24unique business rule while maintaining13:26system performance we used a combin of13:29custom Apex triggers and complex13:31workflows to meet their requirements13:33without hitting Governor13:35limits and finally what are custom13:37metadata types and why should we use13:40them custom metadata types are a13:43powerful tool in sou development uh they13:45are essentially developer designed13:47metadata structures that enable the13:49creation of Highly customizable13:51applications within Sals instance the13:54process involves two main steps first13:57you design the metadata type itself self13:59which is conceptually similar to14:01designing a custom object then you14:03create records of that metadata type to14:05define specific behaviors these records14:08are read at runtime allowing14:09applications to adapt dynamically the14:12beauty of custom metadata types is their14:14versatility they can be used to define a14:17wide range of configurations from14:19something as practical as mapping Fields14:22between two objects to more secure14:24applications such as storing API14:26integration Secrets as essentially they14:29provide a dynamic way to store and14:31access data that can be critical for14:33tailoring sou Source applications to14:35specific business14:37needs thank you for taking the time to14:39interview us today uh we'll be in touch14:41with the next
