Hi guys,
I thought Jonathan gave a great response.
There are several things I would like to add (or re-iterate, lol).
When people say, 'Ask good questions' to me it means;
Do some homework on the company. It sounds cliche, I know, but it's true.
Do more than going to the company website and read the public relations piece for investors. See if you can find out what technology the company is focused on. For example, If the company uses NoSQL and SQL read up on the topics!
Don't go in and say; I heard this is a cool company. lol, Ya'know.... ;)
I have been reading StackOverflow recently. I have learned something about good/bad questions.
A. Some people post huge error messages without even giving it a quick read! Some people give up too early. Stop, Read and Think, even for a second. ;)
Use the Information you have wisely.
B. Other people blurt out a question too quickly. How about going to the docs first and spend some time on them. Then if the docs don't make sense say so. Being intelligent is also knowing Where to find info.
Use your Resources wisely!
C. The third point, a good question, gets to the point Quickly. Others do Not want to know the history of your project. Ask your question concisely.
Use your friend's time wisely.
You may say this is garbage and Not related to interview questions. There is overlap. When I interviewed people, I liked to see people think rather than blurt out a Wrong answer quickly. Stop for a moment, breathe & think. It's ok to pause and have dead air. You have learned how to use a hammer (or program). Now, what can you make/build with that hammer?
HTH
P.S. It is ok to say; I don't know. Just use it wisely.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
