Wise individual. One thing you don't need is a primadona who diss's everyone else's work. Constructive criticism is one thing, destructive criticism can lead to real trouble. I'm not too keen on the body language thing as you'll get different reactions based on where in the pecking order someone is. Would be more meaningful to have others in the team talk to the person & watch from a remote camera. But would that be illegal?? Any HR folks out there?? ______________________________________________________________ Dick Goulet / Capgemini North America P&C / East Business Unit Senior Oracle DBA / Hosting Office: 508.573.1978 / Mobile: 508.742.5795 / www.capgemini.com Fax: 508.229.2019 / Email: richard.goulet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 45 Bartlett St. / Marlborough, MA 01752 Together: the Collaborative Business Experience ______________________________________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Helen Mitchell Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 11:27 PM To: 'Helen Mitchell'; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Oracle DBA future Recently, I was told that a major concern of a hiring manager is that the Oracle DBA be able to get along with the staff. He said that during an interview he asks few obligatory questions regarding technical expertise, but then he goes to his main concern of compatibility. This hiring manager listens to the candidate's answers to his work-situation focused questions, but also watches the body language throughout the question-answer interview. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
