OK folks, I have one hell of a problem....
My job title, where I work currently, is that of a "Junior Software developer", and i'm supposed to be using mainly
Java and XSL. The reality is that 90% of my time is spent using XSL - hardly any Java really.
I've been working at my current place of employment for nearly 2 years now.
My Java knowldege is just basic - I know the basic stuff, nothing flashy, and I consider myself to be competent in what I know (although the instructor's on the cattledrive may certainly know better!!).
Well, the thing is, because of my lack of Java involvment, i've been looking to move on, and have had 2 inerviews now, in the past 3 weeks. The thing is, I keep failing the interviews solely on my rather pathetic performance in the Java technical tests, which the potential employers give at the interview. The questions are just general questions, mainly basic stuff, with a bit of intermediate thrown in for good measure. Reading standard Java text books doesn't seem to help.
So, with this in mind, can anybody suggest a good book for swotting up on the types of questions faced in Java tests, or, resources or ways to make myself stronger at answering these tests.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :roll:
