When creating a mobile design, how do you deal with input fields?
This operational question asks you about a process you use as a mobile application developer. Interviewers use operational questions to evaluate your skills, explore your experience, and determine if the methodologies you use align with those their current development team employs. When answering operational questions, one method you may consider is stepping the interviewer through the process in a logical fashion. Make sure to keep your answer brief and concise. The interviewer will follow up with another question if they need additional information.
"When creating a mobile design and developing the input fields, the criteria I use are to empathize the important input elements and minimize features that are not critical or distract the user. I accomplish this by using clear labels, graphics, prompts, and default keypads based on the type of information the user is imputing. An example of this is defaulting to a numeric keypad when the user is asked to enter their phone number or area code. I also provide previews of standard information the user has already entered into other parts of the application, allowing them to quickly create the entry."
