PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE PHONE SCREENING LIGHTLY! I did and got rejected. I was expecting SQL questions and in general talk about my resume but she asked me a question on product sense and I was completely unprepared for it. Creation of Facebook user groups has gone down by 20%, what will you do? sounds simple but I messed it up so badly. I was just blabbering anything in an unstructured way, I sounded so stupid and not even fit for a small company forget Facebook. The recruiter was nice and she did not say anything but I were to hear my own answer, I would reject myself on spot. I regret it so much wish I could have prepared for it. I hope someone sees this and it helps them. The SQL questions were easy and I did answer them correctly- what kind of joins to get only common rows, what the natural sorting order etc.

SQL - I was given 4 tables Sales, Product, Promotion and something else (Never had to use it). 1. Which product had the highest sales with promotions and sales ( basically a where clause on 2 flags) 2. What % of sales happened on the first and last day of promotion. I don't remember the rest.. I'd say your ability to translate regular english statements into SQL is tested very well
