I decided today that I needed to update the technical interview questions I give to new folks wanting a job at the Shop. They are a mixture of database, Java, C, C++ questions that are really meant for the widest possible audience so it's not a big deal if each candidate doesn't know the answers to a few of the questions. C++ STL is, after all, pretty narrowly focused, but for those coming in with C++ STL experience on their resume, it's nice to have a little something to ask them.<\/p>\n
Today's additions are primarily from Troy who I sought out for his little \"gotchas\" in Java as he's been working in Java for a while and I was guessing that he'd have a bunch of little 'pearls' that would make good test questions. I wasn't disappointed.<\/p>\n
It's fun to come up with both the simple, quick questions like Why was Thread.stop()<\/tt> depricated?<\/em> and the more complex ones like What happens in the JVM when a class is instantiated?<\/em> The additions just give me more material to talk over with the candidate. I don't like to put too much weight on any one topic or language, so it's nice to have more, fun and interesting questions to ask.<\/p>\n Thanks goes out to Troy for his additions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I decided today that I needed to update the technical interview questions I give to new folks wanting a job at the Shop.
