QUOTE(RiddleMeThat @ Aug 16 2014, 07:17 PM) CD portfolio or even open source code is not enough. They claim that you could've taken it from other people. The problem with coding tests is they test things that you have not used since uni or college and these tests are done on the white board, no PC. That's why such hiring practices are sorely broken. If an interviewer cannot properly tell then obviously they are not good enough to do proper hiring. Famous q fabonoci ??? Wtf is that if write in paper i dono. I just knew business logic and how it implement in the system

QUOTE(Ketchum @ Aug 22 2014, 04:39 PM) I am fine with coding tests too. I have attended many interviews that require coding tests. There is one interview where they show me my coding test result and I am doing very good but I am not hired. The reason? After they show me the result, they ask me one more question: Am I satisfied with the result? I answer no, because I have a perfectionist attitude and very detailed person. Maybe they scare I am too ambitious and will not stay long there, so I not get the job. The ways they interview, if they followup the coding tests with some questions afterward to judge the candidate attitude and approach, I think that are all good. Haha.me tooo.never satisfied.

Samote=WinkyJr,Aug 24 2014, 01:47 AM] I've coded for like 5 years. Mostly markup language like html/css with a bit of js. Html5/css3, frameworks (bootstrap/foundation) is nothing new to me. Occasionally did some php and vb.net. Currently busy with portal dev using Sharepoint 2013. My colleague always said "You know lots of things. You can do design, you can create/mod the template, you can do the config, you can dev the webpart and you even know other lang. Try jump to other company. You are underpaid here" and I hate it. Really hate it. Because I always feel my skills is not enough for me to go thru the interview. To get other job. Coding test? My total nightmare. Never been any but I always think that I will break and fail. I have no problem to explain the flow like "create this class, call it this and then" but to code? I really need to refer my previous code or Google. When some people talk or discuss about subject that I am not familiar with (core, assembly, x86, heap, stack, memory allocation, deep cs stuff) I was like "shhhyytteee..I am nooobs..the hell they talking about. I have no fckg idea..". X_X  [/quote] Same . i m noob. All work now sap sap sap?

QUOTE(lotiman2003 @ Sep 5 2014, 01:51 AM) It is hard to look for good programmers in Penang. My company will hire those who is interested in programming and will provide the necessary training in programming and business logic. We are using VB6 - fresh graduate might never heard of it ASP3 - never learned but mostly picked by fresh graduate in a few weeks Android - not many college have Android lesson So, we mostly train them on the programming. Someone from previous post said the biggest problem is waiting for ppl to apply, this one I 100% agree. Not many apply for the jobs. RM2500 for fresh graduate with training. After confirmed increase based on performance. If good can get RM2800 after 3months. I just moved to sp.. Finding job area penang.but vb6 Dam cool yo. I like vb6 compare to .net winform or wpf.asp3 it old asp page vb? Maintain old system maybe? Ado.recordset.movenext movefirst .

Technovault Solutions Sdn Bhd is my own company too with my 2 other partners, so I have share inside there.
