    I would like to point out that memorizing the answers to some probable interview questions is probably a good way to get job that you can't do and will be fired from. Don't interview for a job that you can't do. It hurts the company, which means it hurts all the other employees, if you get a job that way. It's dishonest.

  • Ideally I would agree that the best approach is not to memorize answers to possible interview questions. However, I have found that, unlike actually working, surviving an interview requires having facts memorized.

    I personally have a history of - on the job - being able to learn new tools and technologies, investigate problems, devise solutions, and get very good performance reviews. And failing in interviews for not having details readily memorized - things that have little benefit on the job because they can be investigated in less than 5 minutes. And it sure seems to me if you say "I don't know that" more than once, you're dead. The only way I have been able to get a new job is, thankfully, through the recommendation of people I have worked with in the past.

    It certainly seems to me that the most important qualities to perform on the job - the ability to learn and reason - are not valued in an interview. Am I the only one that feels that way?

    Why would you want to work for someone that is so narrow-minded that telling them you're not a human encyclopedia is a bad thing? If "I don't know, but I can find out" is an unacceptable answer, that's going to be an extremely stressful job to have anyway, or you're going to be forced to bs your way through it.

    As Gus said and Gail re-iterated, if you take a job on that you can't perform, you're being unfair to the other employees (and yourself, btw) and dishonest to your employer.

    This is an SSIS forum, so you're in the wrong place. Why should anyone give you the answers anyway? If you don't know, learn. If you can't learn, you shouldn't get the job. Anyone can be a parrot, but I wouldn't want a parrot as a colleague.

    Phil...newbie asking for help...don't be mean..

    No one's been mean, just realistic. Memorising answers to interview questions is not going to fool a good interviewer. If it fools a bad interviewer, then someone's got a job they're not capable of doing. I personally wouldn't want as a colleague someone who's memorised their way through an interview.

    interview advice: Be honest, don't exagerate your abilities, don't be afraid to say 'I don't know' (but have a plan for finding out, eg google, product documentation, etc).

    That is not asking for help. That is being too lazy to find out the answers yourself. Too lazy to pick up a book about the subject, to follow a webinar or an actual training. That is choosing the easy way out and hoping that the answers fall in your lap. Real knowledge comes with experience and training and yes, that takes time.

    (and with real knowledge I mean knowledge stored in your long-term memory, not knowledge in your short-term memory by memorizing answers).

    Need an answer? No, you need a question

  • I just got done with a long run of interviews for a Sr. Systems DBA and an SQL Server T-SQL Developer. There were about 8 candidates for each job. I should probably write and article about it... it was absolutely brutal. I've never seen so many people who knew so little about what their trade was. That includes the head hunters who thought they were good candidates.

    --Jeff Moden


    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Sounds to me that a mock interview with you would be a good place to start in developing a Professional Development Plan for enhancing an individuals knowledge and abilities.

    Would love to know what kinds of questions you asked these people. I'd probably be surprised at how much I don't know and still need to learn.

  • the forums in themselves are a haven for learning...provided one understands how to exploit them in your favour...

    Happy learning
