[Milan-pm] Perl Test

[marcos rebelo]

This test was just doing a filtering.

The person was requested to give a 1 to 5 evaluation of her knowledge
in diverse areas, in the case of having a 4 or 5 in Perl, he was doing
a test similar to this one. Less the 50% was setting the person out of
the process, between 50% and 75% was having a fast interview with a
expert in the area, more then 75% was passing directly to the final
interview.

The last interview was having 5 persons doing questions in diverse
areas, all this was being done in 3 to 4 hours.

Some normal question where:
Describe one of the algorithms:
   Quick Sort
   Merge Sort
   Bucket sort
When shall we use Bubble Sort? (my preferred question)
How to count the repeated lines in a file?
...

It was the most difficult interview that I had until today, but at the
end we where having 100 developers of the best in Portugal.

Best Regards
Marcos Rebelo
