Interviews can be quite tricky. I generally find that employers really
don't know what questions to ask to find out if a candidate knows their
stuff.
Usually the questions are very open ended, such as what do you think of OOP
or Frameworks, rather than give me an example of OOP using CFML or tell

of view.
The point of the tests are that you need to have a basic grasp of CF, but
more importantly need to thinking in the right way.

If you are using one index.cfm with a huge cfswitch then you are most likely
deciding which cfcase to run based on a url variable or variables.
When you redirect to the login page, send the cgi.script_name and
cgi.query_string. When they login, use those to send them back to the

Bobby,
Would it be possible to set this value in the index.cfm itself in the
session scope?
cfset session.lastPageVisit = #cgi.script_name##cgi.query_string#
and then do a regular cflocation url=#session.lastPageVisit# after login

I suppose you could but it would be a variable that is constantly changing
with every page request. I'd personally use the url scope.
