has discussed in the past building a "test" that we could publish for the use of
our members when hiring employees. I'd love to see what you have come up
with.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've put together a wee test to give people
I'm interviewing for a position as a systems developer later in the
week.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not having done this before, I'd be
interested in getting some input from y'all. This is pitched at people
with about 5 years experience, who will be expected to do a lot of work
in Access (but nothing very taxing), some light (but important) SQL
Server dev & admin, a fair amount of Office integration and ideally
will know enough VB to show me a thing or 2. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>It should take about half an hour (I think
it's probably too long at the moment). I'm more interested in
intelligent & practical thinking than 100% correct answers (I'll be
going through the interviewees' answers with them at length). If you'd
be willing to road test it for me let me know and I'll mail you the word
doc.</FONT></P>
