• I have learned from xxxxxxx that you are looking for a software engineer with 3 years experience developing C++/MFC and Windows NT applications; is there anything else that you can tell me about the position?
• What skills do you feel are important to be successful in this position in addition, what you would like this person to accomplish in the first 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year?”
When I was at xxxxxxx, I was the lead developer for a call processing application. There were four people on my team and we designed, developed, tested and delivered the application in a four month period. The application was developed using C on Solaris and FreeBSD.
When I started at my last company, I didn’t know Unix at all. Within four months, I was able to not only pick up Unix, but I assisted in the implementation of a HP Openview network management system that monitored 400 nodes.
