Hello,
I am new to this forum, and really appreciate the responsiveness from my first post.
Here’s my question :
I will have an interview tomorrow (the first of my career) on Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence [this would be my first job].
I have prepared a lot, technically as well as theoretically.
What could I expect as important technical or analytical points that could be brought up during the interview ?
For example :
1) What is expected of my level in T-SQL ?
2) How important is it to understand the concepts of data mining for a beginner ?
3) What is expected of me being it my first experience in BI ?
4) What is the importance of certifications (I have passed on exam so far 70-448) ?
Thanks !
Kind Regards,
Salma

Golden rules of an interview:
Try to relax & enjoy it.
Listen carefully to questions - keep alert.
Show interest.
Have a list of questions to ask. Also ask questions/show interest in any business information they give you - for example systems you might be working on.
Don't forget to tell them about your knowledge & experience. Passing an exam already will be a big plus.
If its your first job, they will not expect you to be an expert, but they will expect you to be aware of what the job involves & what skills/knowledge you need to do it.
They will want someone keen who is willing & able to learn. In IT you need to learn a lot & keep learning (if you're going to be any good).
So its important to be: keen, alert, interested in them & the company, & able to show willingness/interest in learning.
