Normally I give the chance to get some extra points with some extra effort.These are the items that I consider are worth of some extra points.
Books:
- Read weekly at least 40 pages and provide a report of the highlights.The book could be about personal finances, self-improvement or computer sciences.No scale given.
- Here is the list.
Interview question:
- An online based test that shows a brain teaser or a code problem or a code snippet that must be solved in under 20 minutes.I take questions from my time as a part of the recruitment team on oracle and some books.Each question has a time limit of 20 minutes.
LinkedIn:
- They must have at least the same number of connection as the persons attending the last day and a full profile.
