Re: Midrange Knowledge test

Initially I would think that a test of someone with the two certifications 
displayed by you would be a waste of time and money.  Then, if one 
wondered "what education would this person need in the future to meet or 
exceed current personnel, and/or meet development skills required by our 
business" then the tests might be more varied and include things over and 
above raw RPG like:
- SQL
- WDSC 5.1
- API's
- sockets
- java interfacing
and anything else germane to your organization.  Failure would not 
constitute an inability to learn, just where they need to send you to 
training.

Re: Midrange Knowledge test






It's called "ProveIT".  I took a test recently and passed with flying 
colors.  Unfortunately I am still waiting to hear from back from the 
dedicated headhunter who set up the test for me ;-)  Amazing how many 
people these days call you about a job but never follow-up???
