Moved to General Developer so that you have a chance of getting a serious reply ;)
If they ask you a question and you don't know the answer, don't lie unless you are very, very good at lying. If they know the answer and know you are lying, odds are they will never call you again. It is almost always better to say that you don't know but can gain that knowledge very easily and quickly.Quote:

You didn't really give us much to go on, so I will mention a few things to watch out for, too:
Some of these 'part-time' programming jobs can turn into things that neither you nor the employer has expected. Some people see a piece of software on the shelf that costs $500-$1000, and thinks that they can just hire somebody to toss together the same thing for less than that. They are totally wrong! Always! There are advantages to having somebody write software for you, such as the abiltiy to customize it to fit specific situations, or creating something that doesn't currently exist, but cost savings for any significant piece of software is not one of them. Therefore, you should make sure that both you and your potential employer, have a clear and reasonable set of expectations from the relationship. There should be goals and deadlines, but there should also be a clear path for changes, modifications, support, and so forth. If there is no consideration of that up front, it is unlikely to be handled smoothly later on.
Only impress them if you can handle the job.
And only accept the job if you are sure you can handle it.
I guess all student knows that :)Quote:
