OOP, projects, and practices... oh my!

I got a call from a representative of JP Morgan today. He started to ask me about my previous projects and a started to draw a ______ (also, I was shopping for food at the time). If you have ever been in a class with me or if we have worked on a project or two together, then I would like you to contact me and help me remember. Also, if you have any advice for interviews, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hey man, what's the job description like? How about discussing projects you have done in the field you're in now as well? You can draw from those experiences and make yourself fit the position they're looking for.

Check out my del.icio.us list of things I've saved for getting a job and doing and interview. I think looking back at school work after you've already been in the industry for a few years isn't a good idea, unless you can relate it well.

heh, I'm a SA for Wintel Systems. I rarely do any programming now and what little I do is in the form of Windows scripting.

This is good, what you'll want to do is focus on your scripting and let them know you're eager to get back into programming and development (assuming you want to get back into programming). You need to learn OOP again....you can do this through little projects (http://www.programming-challenges.com, http://projecteuler.net - make sure you're doing OOP best practices. you can post solutions here for a questions or suggestions).
