Having read this request probably makes that I qualify for the position
;-)
Now only find out how bad the commute is from Gouda....

Subject: [WiX-users] Interviewing an installation developer
This is probably a little bit off topic but I was thinking that this
list might have the right people for the discussion.
We are doing some interviews for an installation developer position at
my company pretty soon and we got pretty burned with the person who
was previously in the role since I think we thought he had a better
handle of some of the fundamentals of installation development than it
turned out that he did. In an effort to keep that from happening again
we were thinking of coming up with some sort of exercise that could be
done during the interview that would show some level of proficiency.
Kind of like the classic "Write a sorting algorithm" sorts of
questions that are pretty common for more general development
positions.
Has anyone had any really good installation development focused
interview exercises?
My initial thought was to write up an installation package for some
sort of dummy software that had a few little requirements and have the
candidate verify the requirements were met by being able to point to
various points of the actual MSI where the requirement was
implemented. It's tempting to take that a step further and put a few
not so subtle bugs in the package to see if they catch them or not.
I'm not sure I can get a machine for the interviews though, but I'm
not sure if printing out a table dump from the MSI through something
like Orca would translate well enough. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
(And if you're in the Twin Cities metro area and are looking for an
installation development position, ping me privately and I'll see
about getting your resume to my manager)
