So I have an interview next week for a shop that makes heavy use of SQL Server 2008. I also use it on a daily basis and feel quite comfortable with it however there is always the nagging question: What don’t I know?
So I humbly ask, what can a C# developer expect an interviewer to ask with regards to an SQL Server 2008 for a mid-level developer position interview?
Thanks.
Sql Server is a massive topic. You’re not going to know everything, especially as a developer. You’ll be expected to know about PKeys, foreign keys, design etc. Just be honest when you don’t know something. Don’t guess and don’t try to blls&t your way through anything. It never plays well. I’ve seen it from both angles (interviewee and interviewer.)
Honesty gets a lot of respect from the interviewer. It makes you a real person and it makes their job easier. Not necessarily to say yes or no to your qualifications but because they have less guessing to do and they will remember that when it comes time to cull through the applicants.
