I'd ask them freakout questions aswell whats the preferred route in terms of CFLOOP if you first have to re-serialze the data into either an array or structure.

 

I mean either way if they answer it,  you could pass them (semantics aside) but it atleast makes them think about the problem and provide a written response vs re-gurgitating how a tag is built in terms of syntax?

 

From an OO perspective, you could breakaway from a CF syntax approach and ask them to describe how they would go about building a sony discman in OO (ie play,fast forward, rewind etc are methods and a CD could be considered an entity within a class etc).

 

Again, no specific right or wrong answer, but gives you an indication of how the candidate will break the problem down into pieces and assemble it.

 

That or you could simply do a drug test.. now if they pass, don't hire them..as it takes some serious dosage of crystal meth to be a good CF`er ;)

Hey all,

 

On the subject of recruitement, which has been a hot topic lately, just wondering if anyone out there has a set of ColdFusion technical questions that could be asked of a potential employee in an interview? I'm thinking a 15 - 20 minute quiz that would test their knowledge of CF programming concepts as well as practical application.

 

I have a pretty good idea of the things I'd like to know, but if someone has put one of these together before it would be great to have a look at to see if I've missed anything.

 

thanks, bye!
