Nokia Codes Tips and Tricks

To check the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) Type-
*#06#
Information you get from the IMEI-
XXXXXX XX XXXXXX X
TAC FAC SNR SP

TAC = Type approval code
FAC = Final assembly code
SNR = Serial number
SP = Spare
To check the phones Software revision type-
*#0000#
Information you get from the Software revision-
V 05.31
18-02-99
NSE-3
1ST Line = Software revision
2ND Line = The date of the software release
3RD Line = Phone type
To enter the service menu type-
*#92702689# (*#WAR0ANTY#)
Serial number (IMEI)
Production date (MM/YY)
Purchase date (MM/YY) You can only enter the date once.
Date of last repair (0000=No repair)
Transfer user data to another Nokia phone via Infra-Red
Clock Stopping
To check weather your SIM Card supports clock stopping type-
*#746025625# (*#SIM0CLOCK#)

Revealing the Headphone and Car-Kit menus
Please note that if you do these next tricks, the new menus can\’t be erased without retoring the factory default settings. To do these tricks you need to short-circuit the pins on the bottom of the phone next to where you plug in you charger.

1. To activate the “Headset” menu, you need to short-circuit pins “3″ and “4″. After a short time the word “Headset” will be shown in the display. Menu 3-6 is now enabled.
2. To activate the “Car” menu, you need to short-circuit pins “4″ and “5″. After a short time the word “Car” will be shown in the display. Menu 3-7 is now enabled.

THE REBOOT TRICK
This should work on all software versions of the 6110.
1. Go to the Calendar (Menu-8)
2. Make a note or reminder.
3. Enter some text into the edit box.
4. Hold “Clear” until the whole text is cleared, then press “Back”.
5. Press “0″. The main screen will now be showing but a space appears on the screen. (you can\’t see it)
6. Enter 4 digits (e.g. 1234).
7. Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side of the numbers and the space (Down arrow twice).
8. Now enter 6 digits and press the call button.

Wait for a few seconds, the screen should start to flash and reboots. It should alsowork on other menus like the “Profiles” menu.

EFR CALL QUALITY
To activate EFR (Enhanced Full Rate) Enter the code-
*3370#
This improves call quality but decreases batterylife by about 5%
To deactivate it, Enter the code-
#3370#

THE JAMES BOND TRICK
If you short-circuit theleft middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with all connections touching each other, the Nokia software hangs! The profile “Headset” will be activated. Before you do this just activate the “Automatic Answer” in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to “Mute”. Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table in a room and call it. The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to what people are saying.

NETWORK MONITOR
There is a hidden menu inside your Nokia phone. If you want to activate it, you\’ll have to re-program some chips inside of your phone.
Check your software version. You can only continue if you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.
Take apart the phone.
De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64).
Read out the data with an EEPROM programmer and save it to a file (Backup).
If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address “03B8″ from “00″ to “FF”.
If you have v5.24 then change the address “0378″ from “00″ to “FF”.
Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back to the phone,
Power on your phone and you should have “Netmonitor” enabled.
The Network Monitor gives you the following information.

Carrier number
MS RX Level in DBM
Received signal quality
MS TX power level
C1 (Path loss criterion, used for cell selection and reselection). The range is -99 to 99.
RTL (Radio link timeout).
Timeslot
Indication of the transmitter status
Information on the Network parameters.
TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity).
Cell identification (Cell ID, Number of cells being used).
MCC (Mobile country code)
MCN (Mobile network code)
LAC (Location area code)
Ciphering (On/Off)
Hopping (On/Off)
DTX (On/Off)
Discard cell barred information

CHECK SIM-LOCK
Note – If you bought your Nokia on UK Vodafone or UK Cellnet you do not need to check this because they both transmit on GSM900, and they don\’t lock the phones. However if you bought your phone on UK Orange or UK One2one your phone may be blocked. The reason is that they both transmitt on GSM1800. To make a call on GSM1800 you need what is known as a “Dual band” phone. A dual band phone is able to transmit on both GSM900 and GSM1800, so they lock the phones so you can\’t use it with any other network simcard. If you find that your phone is locked you can try different software to unlock it. (we havn\’t found one that works yet), or you can ask your service provider who will gladly exchange the 10 digit code for about ?35.
This is how to check the status of the 4 different locks. Aslo don\’t try entering the wrong number, because after 3 times it will block the phone for good.

There are 4 different locks on your Nokia phone.
COUNTRY-LOCK
NETWORK-LOCK
PROVIDER-LOCK
SIMCARD-LOCK
The code to read out the sim-lock status of your phone is

#PW+(MASTERCODE)+(Y)#
# = DOUBLE-CROSS
W = PRESS “*” THREE TIMES
P = PRESS “*” FOUR TIMES
+ = PRESS “*” TWO TIMES
MASTERCODE = 1234567890
Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4
The master code is a secret code. The code has 10 digits, To read out the sim-lock status you can enter every combination you want!
“Y” Shows the status of the network-lock. Here you can enter a number from “1″ to “4″. The “4″ is for the sim-card lock.

SIM-LOCK CHECKS
#PW+1234567890+1# = GIVES PROVIDER-LOCK STATUS
#PW+1234567890+2# = GIVES NETWORK-LOCK STATUS
#PW+1234567890+3# = GIVES COUNTRY-LOCK STATUS
#PW+1234567890+4# = GIVES SIM-CARD-LOCK STATUS.

User Defined Functions

Posted October 18, 2008
Filed under: sql server | Tags: sql server, user defined functions

Leave a Comment

This article covers all the basics of User Defined Functions. It discusses how (and why) to create them and when to use them. It talks about scalar, inline table-valued and multi-statement table-valued functions. (This article has been updated through SQL Server 2005.)

<!–

–>

With SQL Server 2000, Microsoft has introduced the concept of User-Defined Functions that allow you to define your own T-SQL functions that can accept zero or more parameters and return a single scalar data value or a table data type.

What Kind of User-Defined Functions can I Create?

There are three types of User-Defined functions in SQL Server 2000 and they are Scalar, Inline Table-Valued and Multi-statement Table-valued.

How do I create and use a Scalar User-Defined Function?

A Scalar user-defined function returns one of the scalar data types. Text, ntext, image and timestamp data types are not supported. These are the type of user-defined functions that most developers are used to in other programming languages. You pass in 0 to many parameters and you get a return value. Below is an example that is based in the data found in the NorthWind Customers Table.

CREATE FUNCTION whichContinent
(@Country nvarchar(15))
RETURNS varchar(30)
AS
BEGIN
declare @Return varchar(30)
select @return = case @Country
when 'Argentina' then 'South America'
when 'Belgium' then 'Europe'
when 'Brazil' then 'South America'
when 'Canada' then 'North America'
when 'Denmark' then 'Europe'
when 'Finland' then 'Europe'
when 'France' then 'Europe'
else 'Unknown'
end

return @return
end

Because this function returns a scalar value of a varchar(30) this function could be used anywhere a varchar(30) expression is allowed such as a computed column in a table, view, a T-SQL select list item. Below are some of the examples that I was able to use after creating the above function definition. Note that I had to reference the dbo in the function name.

print dbo.WhichContinent('USA')

select dbo.WhichContinent(Customers.Country), customers.*
from customers

create table test
(Country varchar(15),
Continent as (dbo.WhichContinent(Country)))

insert into test (country)
values ('USA')

select * from test

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

Country          Continent
---------------  ------------------------------
USA              North America

Stored procedures have long given us the ability to pass parameters and get a value back, but the ability to use it in such a variety of different places where you cannot use a stored procedure make this a very powerful database object. Also notice the logic of my function is not exactly brain surgery. But it does encapsulate the business rules for the different continents in one location in my application. If you were to build this logic into T-SQL statements scattered throughout your application and you suddenly noticed that you forgot a country (like I missed Austria!) you would have to make the change in every T-SQL statement where you had used that logic. Now, with the SQL Server User-Defined Function, you can quickly maintain this logic in just one place.

How do I create and use an Inline Table-Value User-Defined Function?

An Inline Table-Value user-defined function returns a table data type and is an exceptional alternative to a view as the user-defined function can pass parameters into a T-SQL select command and in essence provide us with a parameterized, non-updateable view of the underlying tables.

CREATE FUNCTION CustomersByContinent
(@Continent varchar(30))
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
  SELECT dbo.WhichContinent(Customers.Country) as continent,
         customers.*
  FROM customers
  WHERE dbo.WhichContinent(Customers.Country) = @Continent
GO

SELECT * from CustomersbyContinent('North America')
SELECT * from CustomersByContinent('South America')
SELECT * from customersbyContinent('Unknown')

Note that the example uses another function (WhichContinent) to select out the customers specified by the parameter of this function. After creating the user-defined function, I can use it in the FROM clause of a T-SQL command unlike the behavior found when using a stored procedure which can also return record sets. Also note that I do not have to reference the dbo in my reference to this function. However, when using SQL Server built-in functions that return a table, you must now add the prefix :: to the name of the function.

Example from Books Online: Select * from ::fn_helpcollations()

How do I create and use a Multi-statement Table-Value User-Defined Function?

A Multi-Statement Table-Value user-defined function returns a table and is also an exceptional alternative to a view as the function can support multiple T-SQL statements to build the final result where the view is limited to a single SELECT statement. Also, the ability to pass parameters into a T-SQL select command or a group of them gives us the capability to in essence create a parameterized, non-updateable view of the data in the underlying tables. Within the create function command you must define the table structure that is being returned. After creating this type of user-defined function, I can use it in the FROM clause of a T-SQL command unlike the behavior found when using a stored procedure which can also return record sets.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.customersbycountry ( @Country varchar(15) )
RETURNS
	@CustomersbyCountryTab table (
		[CustomerID] [nchar] (5), [CompanyName] [nvarchar] (40),
		[ContactName] [nvarchar] (30), [ContactTitle] [nvarchar] (30),
		[Address] [nvarchar] (60), [City] [nvarchar] (15),
		[PostalCode] [nvarchar] (10), [Country] [nvarchar] (15),
		[Phone] [nvarchar] (24), [Fax] [nvarchar] (24)
	)
AS
BEGIN
	INSERT INTO @CustomersByCountryTab
	SELECT 	[CustomerID],
			[CompanyName],
			[ContactName],
			[ContactTitle],
			[Address],
			[City],
			[PostalCode],
			[Country],
			[Phone],
			[Fax]
	FROM [Northwind].[dbo].[Customers]
	WHERE country = @Country

	DECLARE @cnt INT
	SELECT @cnt = COUNT(*) FROM @customersbyCountryTab

	IF @cnt = 0
		INSERT INTO @CustomersByCountryTab (
			[CustomerID],
			[CompanyName],
			[ContactName],
			[ContactTitle],
			[Address],
			[City],
			[PostalCode],
			[Country],
			[Phone],
			[Fax]  )
		VALUES ('','No Companies Found','','','','','','','','')

	RETURN
END
GO
SELECT * FROM dbo.customersbycountry('USA')
SELECT * FROM dbo.customersbycountry('CANADA')
SELECT * FROM dbo.customersbycountry('ADF')

What are the benefits of User-Defined Functions?

The benefits to SQL Server User-Defined functions are numerous. First, we can use these functions in so many different places when compared to the SQL Server stored procedure. The ability for a function to act like a table (for Inline table and Multi-statement table functions) gives developers the ability to break out complex logic into shorter and shorter code blocks. This will generally give the additional benefit of making the code less complex and easier to write and maintain. In the case of a Scalar User-Defined Function, the ability to use this function anywhere you can use a scalar of the same data type is also a very powerful thing. Combining these advantages with the ability to pass parameters into these database objects makes the SQL Server User-Defined function a very powerful tool.

Summary

So, if you have ever wanted to use the results of a stored procedure as part of a T-SQL command, use parameterized non-updateable views, or encapsulate complex logic into a single database object, the SQL Server 2000 User-Defined function is a new database object that you should examine to see if its right for your particular environment.

Cross Page posting in ASP.NET 2.0

Cross Page posting in ASP.NET 2.0

We always tend to post data from one page to another in a typical web application. For example, user name entered on login page getting displayed in welcome message on homepage.

How do you generally post values/data from one page to another page in ASP.NET 1.x? There are different ways in which you can exchange the data in ASP.NET 1.x like Query strings, Server.Transfer method, Response.Redirect method and session variables. All these techniques have their own merits and demerits like browser imposed character limit when passing parameters using Query Strings and indiscriminate usage of session variables can prove costly in terms of load on server and eventually impacts the performance of server.

Keeping in view above limitations in ASP.NET 1.x, Microsoft has reinstated Cross Page posting feature in ASP.NET 2.0. Many of us might not be aware of Cross Page posting feature in classic ASP. Cross Page posting feature allows a page to cross post to another page which in turn allows you to access all data in posted source page.

In ASP.NET 1.x , when you use look at page life level, you observe that a page can only submit to itself. Cross Page posting feature allows us post the form along with all its control values into another page.

Any server control which implements System.Web.UI.WebControls.IButtonControl interface can be used for Cross page posting. Examples of such controls include link button, Image button and submit button

By simply setting PostbackUrl property, we specify the destination page to which present page should post when post back occurs on present page.

Different methods to post data

There are several methods to post data from one page to another page depending on your needs. If you need to exchange simple insensitive data, you can give a try with existing techniques. So, let us revisit those different techniques which allow exchanging data from one page to another.

Response.Redirect method

We can use this method to allow client browser to do redirection from one page to another page. This technique is usually referred to as Client side redirection. When client browser redirects to DestinationPage.aspx, it involves Server sending a HTTP header informing that the user should redirect and the Client requests the DestinationPage.aspx. Server sends DestinationPage.aspx. Now the Client’s address bar shows DestinationPage.aspx. This entire series of steps incurs extra round trip to server which hits the performance. We usually associate Query Strings with Response.Redirect. There is always a client browser imposed limitation on the length of a query string; so you end up sending small amounts of data over the wire.

Session Variables

We can use session variable to store page information and use it across different pages for entire user session. However, this involves of consumption of costly server resources. This approach may prove disastrous when large numbers of users connect to server and things go pretty poor.

Server.Transfer Method

On flip side to Client side redirection, we have server doing the page transfer. In Server.Transfer, Http Context is preserved when moving from one page to another which means we can access the source page’s items collection in target page. The drawback of using this method is that the browser does not know that a different page was returned to it. It still displays the previous source page’s URL in the address bar. This can confuse the user. Transfer is not recommended since the operations typically flow through several different pages.

Technically speaking, Server.Transfer is faster since there is one less roundtrip, but you lose the URL of the page. Server.Transfer also allows for more flexibilty since you can use HTTPContext.Items to pass variables between pages.

Use Server.Transfer when you need to pass context items. Otherwise use Response.Redirect so the user will always see the correct URL in the address bar.

New Properties helping in Cross Page posting

The new PreviousPage property provides reference to the source page. When a cross page request occurs, the PreviousPage property of the current Page class holds a reference to the page that caused the post back. If the page is not the target of a cross-page posting or if the pages are in different applications, the PreviousPage property is not initialized. After cross-posts back from source page to the target page, the target page accesses information on the source page using this property.

Different ways of implementing Cross Page Posting

There are couples of ways of getting control values of the source page into the target page. First way being using FindControl method as discussed below

Using FindControl Method

In the below listing, we set the PostBackUrl property for Submit button. This property points to the location of the file to which this page should post. In this case, it is DestinationPage.aspx. This means that the DestinationPage.aspx receives the postback and all the values contained in CrossPostingPage.aspx page controls as shown below

<form id=”form1″ runat=”server”>
<div>
<h2> This page will cross post to another page by setting PostbackUrl property of submit button.</h2>
 
<asp:Label ID=”lblName” runat=”server” Text=”LoginName” style=”left: 76px; position: relative; top: 20px”></asp:Label><br />
 <asp:TextBox ID=”txtPassword” runat=”server” style=”z-index: 100; left: 160px; position: relative; top: 34px”></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID=”txtName” runat=”server”></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID=”btnSubmit” runat=”server” Text=”Submit”
PostBackUrl=”DestinationPage.aspx” style=”left: 208px; position: relative; top: 54px” />
<br />
<asp:Label ID=”lblPassword” runat=”server” Text=”Password” style=”left: 90px; position: relative; top: -12px” Height=”4px” Width=”43px”></asp:Label></div>
</form>

SourcePage which does Cross page post back to Destination page

You can see in below code how we are able to retrieve values from previous page using FindControl method and display them on Destination Page. Below given output should help you understand the funda.

Protected Sub form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles form1.Load
Label1.Text = “Name:” + CType(PreviousPage.FindControl(“txtName”), TextBox).Text
Label2.Text = “Password:” + CType(PreviousPage.FindControl(“txtPassword”), TextBox).Text
End Sub

Output listing

Using Control Property

Another way of exposing the control values from the Source Page to Destination Page is to create a public property of controls as shown below

Public Property UserName() As String
Get
Return UserName
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)

End Set
End Property
Public Property Password() As String
Get
Return Password
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)

End Set
End Property

In order to work with the properties described in FindControl page as shown above, PreviousPageType directive should be included in the destination page that is in DestinationPage.aspx. See below listing

<%@ PreviousPageType VirtualPath=”FindControl.aspx”%>

The above directive points to FindControl.aspx by specifying the VirtualPath attribute and when that is in place, one can see the properties exposed by FindControl page in DestinationPage using the PreviousPage property. It is always better to expose only the information we need as public properties to reduce the amount of information available to potentially malicious users.

IsCrossPagePostBack Property

IsCrossPostBack property, which is new in ASP.NET 2.0, enables us to check whether the page is participating in a cross page request. Using IsCrossPostBack property, we can check whether the request is coming from a particular page or not and act accordingly. As per above example, DestinationPage can include this property to specially process the FindControl.aspx cross page post back. Similarly, we can use the IsValid property of our previous page to make sure the page passed all client validations before it is cross posted to DestinationPage.

If Page.IsCrossPagePostBack Then
Label1.Text = “Name:” + CType(PreviousPage.FindControl(“txtName”), TextBox).Text
Label2.Text = “Password:” + CType(PreviousPage.FindControl(“txtPassword”), TextBox).Text
Else
Label1.Text = “No Name:Normal Postback”
Label2.Text = “No password: normal postback”
End If

Hence, Cross Page posting is very handy feature to implement very specific scenarios like displaying logged in user details on different pages and ensuring the request is coming from correct page. You can implement this feature in either two ways using FindControl method or exposing values as public properties. PreviousPage object will expose very useful properties like IsValid property and FindControl property to make Cross Page Posting more useful.

50 common questions asked in interviews

Posted July 6, 2008
Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: interview, questions

Leave a Comment

Review these typical interview questions and think about how you would
answer them. Read the questions listed; you will also find some
strategy suggestions with it.

1. Tell me about yourself:
The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short
statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound
rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise.
Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to
the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest
back and work up to the present.

2. Why did you leave your last job?
Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major
problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers
or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep
smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an
opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking
reasons.

3. What experience do you have in this field?
Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for.
If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.

4. Do you consider yourself successful?
You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good
explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are
on track to achieve the others.

5. What do co-workers say about you?
Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific
statement or a paraphrase will work. Jill Clark, a co-worker at Smith
Company, always said I was the hardest workers she had ever known. It
is as powerful as Jill having said it at the interview herself.

6. What do you know about this organization?
This question is one reason to do some research on the organization
before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are
going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?

7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide
variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement.
Have some good ones handy to mention.

8. Are you applying for other jobs?
Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus
on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is
a distraction.

9. Why do you want to work for this organization?
This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the
research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely
important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term
career goals.

10. Do you know anyone who works for us?
Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This
can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not
relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought
of.

11. What kind of salary do you need?
A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if
you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like,
That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?
In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not,
say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide
range.

12. Are you a team player?
You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready.
Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather
than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag,
just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.

13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?
Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: I’d like
it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel I’m doing a good job.

14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?
This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you
like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the
right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the
individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the
organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in
force.

15. What is your philosophy towards work?
The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here.
Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. That’s the
type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a
benefit to the organization.

16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?
Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type
of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it.

17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?
If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying
negative things about the people or organization involved.

You should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to
highlight your best points as they relate to the position being
discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.

19. Why should we hire you?
Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not
mention any other candidates to make a comparison.

Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted
and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work
applied for is a real plus.

21. What irritates you about co-workers?
This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with
anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get
along with folks is great.

22. What is your greatest strength?
Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples:
Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability
to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your
professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude

23. Tell me about your dream job.
Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you
are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another
job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with
this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something
like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and
can’t wait to get to work.

24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?
Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.

25. What are you looking for in a job?
See answer # 23

violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor objections will
label you as a whiner.

27. What is more important to you: the money or the work?
Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is
no better answer.

28. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is?
There are numerous good possibilities:
Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise,
Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver

29. Tell me about a problem you had with a supervisor
Biggest trap of all. This is a test to see if you will speak ill of
your boss. If you fall for it and tell about a problem with a former
boss, you may well below the interview right there. Stay positive and
develop a poor memory about any trouble with a supervisor.

30. What has disappointed you about a job?
Don’t get trivial or negative. Safe areas are few but can include:
Not enough of a challenge. You were laid off in a reduction Company did
not win a contract, which would have given you more responsibility.

31. Tell me about your ability to work under pressure.
You may say that you thrive under certain types of pressure. Give an
example that relates to the type of position applied for.

32. Do your skills match this job or another job more closely?
Probably this one. Do not give fuel to the suspicion that you may want
another job more than this one.

33. What motivates you to do your best on the job?
This is a personal trait that only you can say, but good examples are:
Challenge, Achievement, Recognition

34. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends?
This is up to you. Be totally honest.

35. How would you know you were successful on this job?
Several ways are good measures:
You set high standards for yourself and meet them. Your outcomes are a
success.Your boss tell you that you are successful

36. Would you be willing to relocate if required?
You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if
you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get
the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of problems
later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself
future grief.

37. Are you willing to put the interests of the organization ahead ofyour own?
This is a straight loyalty and dedication question. Do not worry about
the deep ethical and philosophical implications. Just say yes.

38. Describe your management style.
Try to avoid labels. Some of the more common labels, like progressive,
salesman or consensus, can have several meanings or descriptions
depending on which management expert you listen to. The situational
style is safe, because it says you will manage according to the
situation, instead of one size fits all.

39. What have you learned from mistakes on the job?
Here you have to come up with something or you strain credibility. Make
it small, well intentioned mistake with a positive lesson learned. An
example would be working too far ahead of colleagues on a project and
thus throwing coordination off.

40. Do you have any blind spots?
Trick question. If you know about blind spots, they are no longer blind
spots. Do not reveal any personal areas of concern here. Let them do
their own discovery on your bad points. Do not hand it to them.

41. If you were hiring a person for this job, what would you look for?
Be careful to mention traits that are needed and that you have.

42. Do you think you are overqualified for this position?
Regardless of your qualifications, state that you are very well
qualified for the position.

First, if you have experience that the interviewer does not know about,
bring that up: Then, point out (if true) that you are a hard working
quick learner.

44. What qualities do you look for in a boss?
Be generic and positive. Safe qualities are knowledgeable, a sense of
humor, fair, loyal to subordinates and holder of high standards. All
bosses think they have these traits.

45. Tell me about a time when you helped resolve a dispute betweenothers.
Pick a specific incident. Concentrate on your problem solving technique
and not the dispute you settled.

46. What position do you prefer on a team working on a project?
Be honest. If you are comfortable in different roles, point that out.

47. Describe your work ethic.
Emphasize benefits to the organization. Things like, determination to
get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work are good.

48. What has been your biggest professional disappointment?
Be sure that you refer to something that was beyond your control. Show
acceptance and no negative feelings.

49. Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job.
Talk about having fun by accomplishing something for the organization.

50. Do you have any questions for me?
Always have some questions prepared. Questions prepared where you will be an asset to the organization are good. How soon will I be able to be productive? and What type of projects will I be able to assist on? are
examples.
