Conducting the Oracle Job Interview: It Manager Guide for Oracle Job Interviews with Oracle Interview Questions

To find a good candidate and hire that person does take some homework for the person doing the hiring. You have to weed out the people who do not qualify immediately. This book gives you that help. The book is a great guide in what to look for in and how to be a Oracle professional. Along with guidance on education, professional experience, personal appearance, the book provide sample questions that all Oracle DBAs should know. The candidate can use the questions as a review. The employer can use the questions as a guide to other questions or could use the questions straight from the book. Of course the employer should be aware that the candidate might have also read the book. Any employer looking for a quality candidate should buy this book.

I used this book as a guide when hiring a co-worker and it saved me considerable labour. I would disregard the other reviews that stuff this book because it mentions that Oracle programmers need college degrees and a sense of proper professional attire. If you work in a professional environment, this is the book that explains how-to find fellow professionals. The technical questions are good but my favorite part is the personal accessment section. Too many Oracle people think that Oracle is just another job, and this short book sets the record straight.

This allows an excellent guide for evaluating the Oracle job candidate and is very effective in weeding out the people who really know Oracle. Ault has some great questions tht only a real DBA would know.

I am not aware of any other book that addresses the needs of the Oracle hiring manager and applicant alike. This book is packed with interview questions that help separate the wheat from the chaff.

This book is a great help to me as an IT manager that lacks knowledge of Oracle but routinely needs to hire Oracle DBAs. The questions and answers are particularly helpful in the interview process. Selecting technical professionals has always been difficult when I lack the familiarity with the technology to parse between the experienced applicants and those who simply throw around buzz words and catch phrases. Using this text I can grade the applicants and weed out the inexperienced ones.
