That just shows their [the recruiter and the hiring company] ignorance more than anything... the "off-shore" guys take those tests, but their work is really very simplistic and most of them have a very hard time doing any sort of troubleshooting and being able to understand when to apply those commands. We have been through *several* instances in the last 6 months where we had to recover a db because they deleted a datafile "because they needed space".

Just like every other school (k-12 and college/technical school) where they teach an exam not what they really need to understand what it is they are being tested on. [can you spell "certification" ppuuuhhhhllleeeeaaaaaaaaazzzzeee ] Received on Tue Mar 03 2009 - 02:49:39 CET
