Greetings all, I was hoping I could get some simple answers for an interview that I have tomorrow.
Here is the scoop. I am currently in a fair paying job at my company, but am no longer happy with the career path that I chose. I elected to move into IT because I knew that it would be something that I could seek advice about from my peer group. I am currently in classes to be a programmer (C# certification).
I have an interview tomorrow for a business analyst position. It's up in the IT department and I am hoping that it could be a good transition. However, I am extra nervous because I bombed my last interview upstairs (I didn't have the knowledge to do support upstairs, about a year ago).
Can some of you pose questions that you would ask if you were hiring an analyst? I won't answer them on here unless you ask me to, but I don't know what questions are going to be asked of me, and I am woried that I will mess this up if I don't have some questions set up in advance.
Anything you have I will take with gratitude, even if it's negative.
Beginning Programmer - Still learning as much as possible.

The Description:

How are we supposed to know what your potential clients are prepared to pay? I live in a completely different country, so I have no idea what is "the norm" around your area. It's up to you to do some market research - that means you are going to have to get in touch with businesses and find out if they genuinely do have a need, and how much they would be willing to pay to satisfy the need. Now, this is going to be tricky for you to do, because if they don't use the software currently and don't seem to miss it you are going to have to generate interest in them.
Are you really sure that you have something so revolutionary that they are going to jump at investing in your product? There's a reason that they are currently just using Office - it satisfies their needs right now. You are going to have a tough time convincing them that they need to make the transition.

Hello All,
I recently finished my GRE in preperation for attending graduate school. I was initially intent on going to a traditional university but I thought some of you might have suggetions for good online programs in cs or cis, or resources that rank them.
Thanks for any posts in advance,
Ryan

I'm confused, how does this question rate a 1.2?
It is asking about training in a training forum.
Is there something I'm missing?

It's unlikely you'll find a job in the UK with a CV like this. If you sent it to me, I'd put it straight in the bin.
All you've done is list a bunch of technologies. So what? Anyone can do this, whether they actually know the technologies or not. I could write a computer program to create a CV like yours. There will be plenty of other people out there looking for work that know the same technologies as you do. Why should a employer give your CV the time of day over the dozens of other identical CVs he/she has seen that day?
You need to sell yourself to a prospective employer, provide information in your CV that sets you apart from other, equally qualified candidates. If I was reviewing your CV, I would want to know the following:
- What projects have you worked on?
- What was your role in those projects?
- What technologies did you use, and why did you decide to use them?
- What are the significant achievements that you have made during the course of your career?
You should also target your CV at companies that are more likely to value your experience. For instance, if you have specialist experience in the financial sector, target your CV at financial institutions. This should provide more success than adopting a scattershot approach.

Well, your keyboard isn't suffering from a stuck CapsLock key, so stop shouting, and then some kind CP member might volunteer to answer your question.

Are you that dumb? This forum is not for technical queries. Your query might befit 'Web Development'.

Can anyone suggest a good employment agency in New Zealand, who specialise in Electronic Engineering / Avionics / Software / technical fields? Or anyone who works / has worked in NZ who can suggest potential employers?
At the age of 46 I am trying to relocate the family, and I need to identify potential employers. I am planning on making a short (2 week) visit to NZ about the end of July or early August, partly to see a bit of the country but mainly to talk to potential employers.

Thanks - I'll try those. From what I've seen of Internet employment sites, though, they tend to be very USA-centered (probably because that's the biggest employment market.)
Once I've tried a few more weeks on the employment message board, I think I'll try the lounge - it's not entirely on-topic, but lots of people are in the lounge!

Hi,
Sun Microsystems or Opus International are big employers over here for engineers and software developers.
For general job searching www.jobs.co.nz or www.seek.co.nz are the two most popular sites for job listings.
You could also try the job section on www.trademe.co.nz which is also a big website.
Cheers,
|
|

|

Thanks Mark
I've tried jobs.co.nz and seek.co.nz - there's a couple of possibles, but nothing that really suits what I've done in the past. The main problem is that most of my work history has been development and support for the South African Air Force, and NZ shut down the interesting bits of their air force some years ago.
I'll have a look at the Sun Microsystems, Opus International, and trademe.co.za sites.
Cheers

Hello everybody. I've never posted here before, but I have read a lot of articles. I am a computer science student at the University of Central Florida. I have a project for my technical writing class that I need help with. I have to write a fake application letter and resume for a real job that I might qualify for. I need to have a professional in my field (software development) review the letter and resume and give me some pointers on improvement. I don't know anybody in my field so I was hoping somebody here could read over these documents and give me some pointers on format, content, and some practical advice for a computer science student looking for his first job.
If anybody would help me I would really appreciate it. I am a little apprehensive about asking busy people to have to do homework, but it is a requirement for the assignment. If anybody decides to help, thank you.
I'll copy and paste the letter below and copy and paste the resume below the letter.

Nancy Hanrahan
Raydon Corporation
210 Fentress Blvd.
Daytona Beach, FL 32114
Attention: Human Resource Department
Dear Ms. Hanrahan:
I am applying to the entry level Software Engineer position I saw advertised on the Raydon website. I am currently a senior at the University of Central Florida and finishing a Co-Op term at United Space Alliance. I believe the combination of my Co-Op experience and formal education makes me a strong candidate for this position.
While studying computer science at the University of Central Florida I realized that in a dynamic industry like software development, experience is crucial. I knew experience would supplement my formal education immensely. I didn’t hesitate when I was accepted for the Co-Op program at United Space Alliance. The opportunity required me to work full time every other semester. This extended my time in college but I believe the experience has prepared me for positions such as the one you are offering.
At United Space Alliance I’ve worked on projects that solved real world problems without well defined means towards a solution. I have conceptualized, designed, coded, tested, debugged, and documented my projects under limited supervision. Software development can be an expensive, challenging, and lengthy process. With this in mind, I understand the need for innovation, motivation, and the accurate and timely delivery of projects.
In your company profile you say that the products you develop help save lives. At United Space Alliance, it was crucial that everybody understood how potentially unsafe it could be if we did not take the work we did seriously. One of the mottos at United Space Alliance was producing work that was safe, error free, and on time. I believe these are important qualities for any work, especially for the products you produce at Raydon.
In closing, I want to ensure you that I am willing to work as hard as it takes to exceed your expectations. I understand that this position requires candidates to meet and exceed certain qualifications. I hope I can have a chance to meet with you in person and discuss if I could be an addition to your team of software engineers. Thank you for your time. My contact information is in the attached resume.
Sincerely,
Luke Thomas
