Do you have any questions ?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh

Have you made any interviews so far ? Probably yes. You should be familiar with this question then as most of interviews end up with this question.

Do you remember your answers ?
After ur 2-5-hour interview, the least thing u may need is such a question. All you might think of is "Home, sweet home" you just want to go back home to have lunch and sleep after all those technical/HR questions you faced today, and this is exactly where the trick is !!

Jenna Adorno (Technical Recruiter at MS) says:
"We evaluate your interest and passion for Microsoft, the job, and this industry by the
questions you ask, and no question is off-limits.
"

So, she suggests, never never never (she said it 5 times) not to say "no, I don't have any more questions", she adds "you make an exhaustive list of questions and have them ready." good suggestion I guess.

- Never feel "This is a fool question, just throw it away".
- Be friendly in you questions. Ask if you are already accepted.
- Ask about internal work, about the relations between developers.
- Don't ask about your salary, vacations.. etc (you will know about those anyway so no need to hurry).

Some questions suggested by WetFeet.com
  • "Can you give me an example or two of teamwork in action here?"
  • "How can I learn what I need to know about the organization's strategic plan?"
  • "Assuming you hire me, how would you like me to spend my first month here?"
  • "Have I said anything that causes you concern about my fitting in here?"

Here is Jenna's post about this topic.
And here is a nice article for your first round interview

Thanks,

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele...

What do you do? and how do you do it?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh I've remembered these two questions a couple of minutes ago, they were mentioned in a movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness" and as you see Happyness is written intentionally with 'y' but that's another story! The scene was that the hero who was a depressed poor guy was walking in the street then found a guy parking his very nice & expensive car, he stopped him and asked him "may I as you two questions..." "What do you do? and how do you do it?" Away from the scene and how things went on in the movie, the question that came to me was why don't I ask myself the same questions.. it's not that I'm successful or something but my point is to try to analyze what "were" my goals during my past life... and what did I do to reach the state I am in now -fail/success/progress...- I believe what brought this to my mind is watching -again- Steve Jobs's motivational speech when h...

Question Google Chrome Process Isolation Model..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Google once published this comics book about Google chrome (their Open Source Web Browser) I've linked to one page that I'm concerning about for now... Page 4, Google Chrome Comics Book It explains that Chrome will have separate process per tab, away from the benefits/concerns about this... I was accidently checking chrome's task manager (Shift + Esc) and found something that -apparently- violates this rule... As you see, tab1 process has actually spanned 3 tabs... which is a similar behavior to what IE8 does... I'm not quite sure why this happens in Chrome... but it's just a question to ask...
