AI Thread Summary
For a .NET programming job interview focused on developing PC and web applications in a banking environment, candidates should create a portfolio that demonstrates proficiency in .NET concepts. Given the shift towards C# as the preferred language, incorporating examples in C# could be beneficial. Simple web applications that showcase fundamental skills and understanding of database administration and IIS maintenance are recommended. The emphasis should be on clarity, communication skills, and professionalism rather than complexity, as hiring managers value the ability to grasp company mechanics and demonstrate a solid foundation in relevant technologies.

Hello,

I've applied for a .NET programming job where I'll be developing PC and web based applications within a bank. Also I will be responsible for administering and maintaining databases along with deploying and maintaining IIS.

I'm curious as to what I could possibly create to show at the interview with the hiring manager. I've had two years of vb.net and only a semester of C# but I've been hearing that C# is becoming the new default .NET language of choice.

If you were a hiring manager, what would jump out at you and tell you "this guy is for me" in terms of showing off a web application, PC app, etc? I'm trying to think of a program that will show off all aspects of the job but not have it be too complex as I only have a short time until the interview.

Any suggestions would be great!

I would just build some varying basic web application examples. Anything they will have you work on will be extremely specific. So just show you are proficient in many of the .NET concepts. Nothing complex is needed. It's more important that you show you communicate well, are professional and have the ability to grasp company mechanics.
 

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
