For instance, ask them to explain what is "dirty read", what is "phantom read", explain the difference of some APIs between different JDK versions.

I think it is natural for the candidates not to know something. So I allow the candidate to claim he/she does not know something I asked for. For instance, if I ask a candidate to write a few line Java code to load a property file and display it to the IO cosole, I am ready to get a nagative answer. This won't change my judgement on him/her. I may ask him/her to write a few lines of code to save an Object into a file. If I can remember, I may ask him/her what kind of design patterns have been used in the design of FilterReaders and FilterWriters. If he/she cannot give an answer, I may ask something else. From his/her overall performace, we can conclude if this candidate is knowledgeable and smart. In a job interview, I always try to give people opportunities to make mistakes, for instance. Book knowledge is not very important .

I am sorry we could not consider you as a candidate, because of some corporate policy. I wish you good luck.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
