Note: Interview

I did an interview yesterday. The interviewer asked me two key questions.
One was to pick up three important things for IT in the financial institution.
1. Communication skill: IT must communicate with senior management and users accurately and quickly. IT must understand what they require.
2. Management skill: IT must manage projects with members, users and other teams, and IT must report the status to the upper management.
3. Technologies and Skills: It is essential for IT, but newest technologies would not be necessary for the financial institution. IT must adopt better matured technologies well.

The other was to pick up three my strong points.
1. Experience of Project Management for about 100 people: I know what senior management, my manager, users and my colleagues want.
2. Experience of domestic and foreign companies, and service vendor, buy-side and sell-side
3. Skills of object-oriented languages such as Java and C#, and SQL of Sybase and MS SQL server and script languages such as shells, perl and ruby.

I noted this interview for the next.
