BUILD AGAINST OUR RESTFUL API
Representational state transfer
Unlike SOAP-based Web services, there is no "official" standard for RESTful Web APIs. This is
because REST is an architectural style, while SOAP is a protocol. REST is not a standard, but RESTful
implementations make use of standards, such as HTTP, URI, JSON, and XML.
POST/PUT Customers, Inventory and Style master’s in real-time
GET orders and mark them as exported
Powerful validation rules to prevent import errors
Documentation with sample Request/Response in XML and JSON
SOAP/UI documentation and examples for all API endpoints
GraphQL allows clients to define the structure of the data required, and exactly the same structure
of the data is returned from the server, therefore preventing excessively large amounts of data from
being returned.
GraphQL supports reading, writing (mutating) and subscribing to changes to data (realtime
updates).

---------------------------------------------JOOR Interview Questions------------------------------------------


Interview Perspective: Getting people to invest fully in the job is more about strong leadership, or
making sure your team is doing work where they understand the value

Technology in Business: The businesses themselves are also stronger. The markets are rewarding
companies with revenue. Many investors are not simply investing in “technology” broadly. Frequently,
they’re interested in investing in disruptive products for industries in which they have preexisting
knowledge.

It was from a former boss who told me to “focus more on managing your energy rather than your time.”
As an entrepreneur, you and your VCs are always going to be worried about burn-out. When you work
with people you love, who you get and give energy to, you won't get burned out as easily. Burning out is
a symptom of surrounding yourself with people who zap energy from you or require a ton of
maintenance. It's not worth it!

How JOOR idea emerged: Found Pain Point in the industry --- Initiated a Solution

For VCs: - Metrics, Graphs, Tables (Show Progress)

Escalation:
First and foremost—Communicate to the concerned

• Mention/Show that you are concerned, Mention Action Plans, Mention Deadline, Mention
what action you are going to do next and how much resource you are assigning to that
• Follow Up – Compliment
Future Project Perspective:
Any Given Situation can be solved
1. Research
2. Analyze
3. Act – Actionable Three Steps
Prioritizing – handling Tight Dead Line; Handling Tough Situation:

• Don’t have Infinite Time


• Limited Resource
Smallest and Shortest First – We can’t do big things, I am very certain that by doing small thing
persistently, we achieve big things.

• Keep Resources Available, Provide Distributed work


• Morning Meeting – Ice Breaker; Gauge Energy Level
• Project Management: Trello, Oracle PLM, Salesforce CRM --- But Prefer using White Board
How to prioritize

• Ad-Hoc Request
• Standardized Report/Request
Meeting: Fashion buyer and fashion entrepreneur, I’m obviously a very visual person, so I prefer
apps that show rather than tell.

• Meet in Fancy shop, Owner’s Brand Location than a Starbucks, Fancy Library, Location which
an elegance and style
• Ask questions; Ask Coffee; Appreciate; Get to know the brand; Do basic research before going;
Deliver the Technical details in Lay Man Language; Greet and Something

Why JOOR:

• Learning Opportunity: Speaker Series at JOOR, Meetup – Django (Training Events),


Collaborative environment—Not Cubical, Opportunity to learn more about Product,
Engineering, Customer Success and Engineering team and How they operate – Business
Consultant
• Founder Approach to business is very practical and Method Approach – Network Effect to
create new Marketplace
• Exercise my existing skill set and improve my knowledge in Data Analytics and Overall How
a Business Functions
• My Vision for JOOR: Expansion to Asia Location; 1% to 50% Market Share and other
Wholesale Industry other than Fashion; Venture Funded—Break Even – IPO
• Culture is very family Like, I see no boundaries between one team and other team, one
location and other location, (Team from Two location Meet up --- Not Sure-- Instagram)

------------------------------------------Presentation & Representation-----------------------

------------------------------Location – Branch Expansion Suggestions---------------


We’re also working on building a presence in Asia, and so when I’m communicating with my team in
Sydney, it’s important that I’m on top of the time difference.
