Question 1
General Ability is not easy to complete in time. Better to google for samples and try in advance to make sense of content and timing. Java: 1. If I asked you to search a log file for some key words, output that into a second file that contains relevant lines, let’s say 10 line context around the keyword and then email that document to someone with the message “those log snippets you asked for” . How would you do it? 2. When it comes to Object Oriented Principles (OOP) can you tell me the differences between overloading and overriding? What does the keyword “static” do to methods and variables in java? 3. If I had two tables. Table of people: that contained names, favorite colors and favorite numbers, and a table of pets that contained an owner name, a pets name and the type of pet. How would I retrieve the name of the owner and pet, but only when the owner’s favorite color is blue, and the pet is a dog? 4. Linux 5. Design application for parking system.

Interview
La entrevista con RRHH estuvo bien. La entrevista tecnica fue malisima, dos personas que claramente no sabian que preguntar.. uno preguntaba de backend y la entrevista era para front, el otro preguntaba cosas muy puntuales de un framework obsoleto. Se les olvido JavaScript y lo mas importante: programar.
