Well , you won't go for shopping when there are already guests in your home , will you? In case, that didn't make much sense, I meant that you won't start reading books, pdfs, looking at websites when you are going to have an interview already scheduled for you. I can bet my money( whatever little I have) that even doing this, won't bring you any good. If your question directly or indirectly is related to the questions that the interviewer may ask, once again, this would be a total wrong approach to go for an interview. In almost no time, it can be find out whether you are speaking some crammed line or from yourself. I had a chance to sit on the other side of the hot seat and the guy in front of me was giving all teh bookish answers. I twisted the questions and I was sure that he must have not read them anywhere, guess what happened. he started fumbling and finally gave up.
Interview is what you know, what you have done so far. Its not to start picking up LOTS of books, looking for the questions/answers and just think that the interview will happen from that only. I have some questions whose answers, at least the complete answers , you won't find anywhere. My suggestion is to just go for the interview, be honest about what you know and more about , what you don't know. You haven't committed a crime by not knowing some thing. I know nothing and I am never scared from the interviews ;-) .
Not sure that did help or not but still, best of luck.

How to prepare for a LabVIEW interview

Hi,
Im having an interview on LabVIEW with a company which masters in ATE (automate test equipments). Can anyone help me what are the important topics tht ill have to cover/ prepare for the interview? Further request to share your personal experience on LabVIEW interviews if any.. I've completed cLAD and the employer has shortlisted my profile knowing that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Ram

Since they are the "masters" in ATE (as told by you) probabbly they will be more interested in knowing the details about the ATE that you have designed (or worked on ).
If i am there in such a interview panel i will defenetly ask questions regarding connections to various devices in the ATE (about the instruments connected to the ATE for performing the functional tests), The amount time that you saved while perfoming these tests automatically compared to manual tests, your knowledge on the NI hardware and lots of question regarding LabVIEW (that also includes the basic like lets start from Nyquist)
So be prepared....and All the best....

First - STOP BEING SO LAZY AND START HELPING YOUR TEAMMATES!
Second - you can't possibly be 'working as dba' if you say you have 'lot a idle time'. You might have been hired as a DBA but you clearly aren't 'working'.
Third - you also can't possibliby have 'such a hugh responsibility' if you have lots of idle time.
I have worked with many 'senior' DBAs over the years and several of those times were at a large international bank. There were NEVER periods when anyone had lots of idle time. There was always more work than we could handle and it had to be prioritized and scheduled.
And, since I've never known anyone that would hire someone that they don't really need, especially a bank.
Sounds to me like you are just lazy and need a serious attitude adjustment.
You learn by DOING not by reading. Those senior DBAs will have PLENTY of things you can do to get a solid base of skills. I'm sure they would just LOVE to have you tell them yhou have lots of 'idle time' and they will have no problem at all answering the question you posted here.
Jump in with both feet and start contributing to your team. Help out your fellow DBAs. They will reciprocate by sharing their knowledge with you. After all you have to become BETTER THAN THEM before you can become the 'top' of the market.
If what you posted is true then you have EVERYTHING you need RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU:
1. Opportunity - Banks use almost every DBA skill that there is: backup/recovery, architecture, tuning, and so on
2. Hardware Resources - Banks have plenty of equipment to work with and many different environments (PROD, QA, TEST, DEV) that need supported.
3. People Resources - You have several senior DBAs ready and willing to give you work to do and to help you learn new skills that will take more of the load off of them. Doesn't sound like you have been cultivating those 'people' relationships at all.
4. Time - you said you have lots of 'idle time'. For one, I don't believe you. But if it is true then why aren't you using that idle time to take advantage of items #1, #2 and #3 that I just listed.
I know people that would LOVE to have the opportunity that you say you have and they sure wouldn't wasted their time here in the forums asking questions that they own teammates could help them with.
You won't be at the top of ANYTHING if you don't change your attitude and get to work! What a pity.

How to prepare for 1zo 052 exam?

Hi
I have recently passed my 1zo-051 exam and i am looking forward to taking the next step to become a certfied admin profession .I am not very sure as to how to prepare for the exam should i study dumps and ebooks or should i go for practical training download the software set it up from scratch and learn ?

>should i study dumps and ebooks or should i go for practical training download the software set it up from scratch and learn ?
'Dumps' is short for Brain Dumps and these are not valid preparation materials. Using them can cause you to be banned from the Oracle certification program.
Installing the software is good preparation. You can also find a number of links to valid study materials here:

How to prepare for 1z0-050 exam

Can u help me guiding how to prepare for 1z0-050 exam. It will be every much useful to me.
Thank
Arunkumar Gupta

There's a new guide available for this test not mentioned in the supplied thread:
"Study Guide for 1Z0-050: Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators: Oracle Certification Prep"
It's available at Amazon.com. Be aware that it is very condensed -- it's a study guide rather than a textbook. It should not be the sole source of your preparation for this test. On the plus side, I don't believe it to have near the number of errors that exist in the Oracle Press book for this test. You can also borrow it for free if you have a Kindle and are an Amazon Prime member.
Full Disclosure. I am the author.

How to Prepare for MM interview ( Guidance )

Hi MM Gurus,
I was Preparing for interviews on MM, and working as ABAP side. I need to go on technofunctional side. in mm side what are the areas that i should cover best to get through an interview and topics on which people work less and should i learn other concepts like WM and CIN. And for a technofunctional guys what i have to learn in MM to indentify Technical aspects.
I have good knowledge on PP too, can go forward with MM and PP. is this combination works in industry or not.
Please give me your suggestions to me on this thread or my personal mail id [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
Poorna.

Hi Poorna,
If u wanna to make a carreir as techno-functional consultant in MM/ABAP combination then u should be more thoro in MM bcoz going forward ur role will tilt more at functional side rather than technical.
For getting in MM, u have to have a knowledge of entire purchasing process, it may not be in SAP terms but in general terms. As far as SAP is concern, u should be clear in valuation, pricing & automatic acct determination.
All d best.
Thanks,
Subhash

How to Prepare for C_TM_90?

Hello guys!
I am a new hire to SAP and I am preparing for C_TM_90 PA Exam.
I have the general knowledge of the logistics industry but I have no background knowledge of TM9.0.
Can anyone who has taken the exam or C_TM_80 advise me how I should prepare for the exam and how long the preparation should be?
I have gathered TM100, TM110 & TM120 materials. However, these materials mainly consist of graphics with little explanations and I found it difficult to understand. I also have the SAP TM 9.0 e-book. Should I combine the e-book with those materials for easier understanding? Or is there anything like textbooks for TM100, TM110 or TM120?
Thank you very much!

Hello Kate
Did you pass already your certification?
Is here someone else who has pass the certification and can give a little bit more information about the content in his exam?
Is the certification more on LSP or shipper perspective? How long did you prepare for it and what was your training material in this time?
I heard that most people fail during the certification. Could someone confirm this?
Thanks in advance for more information!
Best regards
Raphael
