all about BI,sql

  • Hello,

    I am new to this forum, and really appreciate the responsiveness from my first post.

    Here’s my question :

    I will have an interview tomorrow (the first of my career) on Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence [this would be my first job].

    I have prepared a lot, technically as well as theoretically.

    What could I expect as important technical or analytical points that could be brought up during the interview ?

    For example :

    1) What is expected of my level in T-SQL ?

    2) How important is it to understand the concepts of data mining for a beginner ?

    3) What is expected of me being it my first experience in BI ?

    4) What is the importance of certifications (I have passed on exam so far 70-448) ?

    Thanks !

    Kind Regards,

    Salma

  • Golden rules of an interview:

    Try to relax & enjoy it.

    Listen carefully to questions - keep alert.

    Show interest.

    Have a list of questions to ask. Also ask questions/show interest in any business information they give you - for example systems you might be working on.

    Don't forget to tell them about your knowledge & experience. Passing an exam already will be a big plus.

    If its your first job, they will not expect you to be an expert, but they will expect you to be aware of what the job involves & what skills/knowledge you need to do it.

    They will want someone keen who is willing & able to learn. In IT you need to learn a lot & keep learning (if you're going to be any good).

    So its important to be: keen, alert, interested in them & the company, & able to show willingness/interest in learning.
