Interview Questions

Do businesses want employees at every level who develop ideas to solve problems and embrace opportunities?

Yes.

In a range of studies since 2003, The Accenture Institute for High Performance found that the highest performing companies in the world encourage staff at every level to solve problems to make things new and better.

The Ernst & Young Connecting Innovation to Profit report (2010) found that fast-moving, agile companies recognise the importance of creative thinking skills, concluding that “the ability to manage, organise, cultivate and nurture creative thinking is directly linked to growth and achievement."

The IBM Global CEO Survey 2010 interviewed more than 1500 CEO’s from 60 countries and 33 industries, concluding that creativity is the most important leadership trait for the future. They suggested that “more than rigor, management discipline, integrity or even vision – successfully navigating an increasingly complex world will require creativity.”

This is one of the trickiest questions in the world of interviewing, as it pits two morals against each other − Loyalty verses Honesty.

In such cases, try to give an answer that’s as diplomatic as possible, like − I will never do anything that could cast a shadow on the company’s image and reputation. I will always consult with my seniors before taking a decision, so that they can guide me with their expertise and level of experience.

In the case of, "Price rises and demand is inelastic", the total revenue increases.

You need to first create a table in oracle that matches with the fields of the XML data.

So to get the XMl into the table, you can create a generic procedure that moves an XML document into a table by converting the elements to Oracle Canonical format.

Oracle Canonical format is as follows:

<ROWSET>

   <ROW>  

     <column_name_1 />

     .

     .

     </ROW>

     <ROW>

         <column_name_1 />

         .

         .

      </ROW> 

        .

        .

</ROWSET>        

ROW is used for the table names

ROWSET is used for the XML document

You can get the XML into the canonical form using XSL:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet 

             xmlns:xsl="https://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"                   

             version="1.0">

     <xsl:template match="/">

          <ROWSET>

               <ROW>

                         <Attribute_name>                      

                             <xsl:value-of select="Table_name/Attribute_name" />

                         </Attribute_name>

                < /ROW>

          </ROWSET>

     </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

To transform the XML document into the canonical form, you can write a procedure. Make sure you include the line below in your procedure code:

v_rows := DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML(

                v_context,    

                XMLType.transform(p_xml_in, p_xsl_in));

The only remaining step is calling your procedure: 

DECLARE

   v_xml XMLType := XMLType( YOUR XML Document );

   v_xsl XMLType := XMLType( YOUR XSL Document );

BEGIN 

   procedure_name(v_xml, v_xsl, 'table_name');

END;

A seemingly simple question that is often difficult to answer, it can result in a great interview going disastrously wrong.

Here "What interests you about the position offered?" is a problematic question for anyone, even the most prepared interview candidate. It is one of those questions that might decide between selected individuals who have the same qualifications and experience.

When asked "what about this job interests you", the interviewer wants to know why you decided to apply specifically for this job and why do you consider this position fitting you and your career plans.

The best bet is to take the most important element of the said job and talk about it.

For example if the job requires effective team work capabilities, you may construct your answer in this way:

Question: What is the 'thing' that interests you about this job?

Answer: One of the things that are of my best interests in this job is the opportunity to work in a team environment. I always wanted to work with hard-working, professional, experienced people. I love contributing the team effort, bringing out the best in myself and in my teammates for fulfilling our work goals and reaching top results.

I trust that I can perform great by applying sound principles of teamwork as I did in my previous jobs. I seek timely and consistent feedback designed to improve not only my performance as well but the team’s performance as well. I consult with people, try my best and treat everyone positively/equally.

Tips to follow while answering this question ::

1. Be Specific

2. Be Truthful

3. Be Real
