Hi! We're hiring a Database Specialist and want to be able to test job candidates' SQL experience. We found an MS SQL interview test online, but we're wondering if anyone out there in the Tessitura community has an interview test they already use successfully or has any advice to share. Thanks!
We don't have anything currently, so I'd love if you could share what you end up going with!
That being said, it's much easier to teach SQL skills than it is to teach clear & collaborative communication skills, so just make sure you're testing both! :)
Agreed! Communication and people skills aren't nearly as trainable as SQL. I had a couple of days worth of SQL training when I administered Microsoft Dynamics in a past life and then took a couple of online classes as a refresher when I became a Tessitura Sys Admin. I'm able to write custom reports, stored procedures, and tons of queries with what I've learned through those classes, on the job experience, and TLCC sessions. I'd love to see the test you end of designing to see how I'd do.
Best of luck!
