My Interview Exp with CA

[lina]

Hi Frineds
Today i attend CA interview

1st round is written test
thats based on our selection(domains) i selected C and Windows
we have to choose 1 OS(windows/unix) and 1 lang(c/c++,java,sql,perl,dbms....)

its a 1 hour exam(objective) with 60 bits(30 OS+30 Lang)
C exam is really tough,they asked purely on files,unions..(some code is given and asked the output like that....)so -> didn't remember any Questions

windows (2000,XP) exams is little bit easy to me ,mainly concentrated on what type of errors (daily occurred errors) and hows our reaction to solve those
Ex :if a s/w has no uninstall. so how will u delete that
some questions on Task Manager.

i finished Written exam and entered into 1st Tech round

they asked me on QTP first , purely on basics.
how will u identy the object,what are the run modes ,types of object repository,how will u post bugs in QTP,.... like

next He asked me on DBMS concepts
i didn't refer DBMS,i know and i have good grip on DBMS , but didn't prepare well
though he asked me basic questions in DBMS,i didn't answer well
he asked me oracle 8i is Dbms or Rdbms -> i said Rdbms

then what r the difference between these two
i told but i am not satisfied with my answer,so how can i satisfy him.
then asked on views,memory space,index,....like basics

so friends..... my journey stopped at this ...
i hope i will do well in the coming interviews
because i just now begin the construction....HAHAHAHA...

Hey remember, these questions r for 2+ EXP

i didn't involve any database testing in my office. that's the problem

so Friends pls prepare Dbms concepts little bit

l All The Best

Hey lina,
i had a similar experience with CA.
Basically CA s selection process is not very clear or streamlined.Even for people with exp they conduct written tests in completely unrelated domains.
so my suggestion is that catch some strong internal reference and try to arrange for a tech interview directly.
and yes whenever you go for a interview in testing with more than 2 years exp-be prepared for atleast 10 questions related to oracle or databases.
