Aye you're never fully prepared because no-one is an expert in every area of a language..especially .NET/C#. I try and keep hands-on even when I'm benched to stay fresh and it seems to work ok for most of the online multi-choice type technical tests, but it can be hit and miss.Moving to Montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon

Was going to reply with something similar. These days there is very little preparation for the interview, making sure the shirt is ironed is about as worried as I get..."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I never do "technical interviews", never have done either. I've walked out of 3 interviews because of this and will not interview if there is going to be any technical interview afterwards.
My reasons?.......
1. Ususally the person asking the question only has a specific answer, so if you don't match, the answer is wrong.
2. A few years back, i tried a permie role for a few months, we needed to get some contractors in and my boss asked me to ask some specific questions so that we would/could benefit from some free consultancy.
I also has this when working for clientco, Microsoft was going to charge a rather large amount to fix/ look at the problem, and the clientco got it fixed by asking contractors in the interivew some "technical questions"Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?Comment

if its something I haven't used for a while (3G for example) then I'll revise,
but as for C/C++ 10 years C and 8 years C++ experience on top means I can normally do ok.

For on line technical tests I make sure I can Google like the wind. Good luck.

Why is it that technical tests never seem to test stuff you do on the job? Seems to focus more on the obscure stuff to me......Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI spend thirty-four years learning how to write software, then hope for the bestComment

Go through CV and make sure everything I've put on it I can answer technical questions on it before I send the CV off.Originally posted by moorfield View Post"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
