Capitalism as we know is dead. True capitalism is premised on the fundamental principle that the factors of economic production are left entirely to market forces without government intervention , management or any other undue influence. Now given the fact that Wall Street was in meltdown and many big banks and financial institutions had to be rescued from going under by the US government through injection of  funds and ditto here in England where the government had to step in by bailing out the major banks thus effectively becoming the ultimate owners in all but name. If as the case in some of these banks the government owns up to 80% controlling shares  through this bail out plan then how can we say we still practice capitalism. He who plays the piper dictates the tune remember.

Capitalism is a cut-throat all you can grab ideology. The upshot being that you appropriate all you can, if you can, when you can and if the market forces move against you then you should be ready to pay the price and become a casualty. So if the banks and financial institutions find themselves in a deep ditch as they did, then in a true capitalist ideal it should and would have been curtains for such concerns. Now whether the government should have stepped in or not is entirely a different debatable issue.

Wonder why there arent any interview related materials on here. I think it will be of great benefit to focus a bit more on interviews in this section. Interviews are so structured these days that one can not just turn up with a bag full of Bsc, MA, P.hd Applied Iwelogy and hope to get the position.

There is a method to the whole process now. A method that has to be recognised and learnt. A method if learnt and followed at the interview will ultimately lead to one acing any interview any where. Or at least reduce the number of interviews before securing a place.

Im certain a lot of people know where am coming from and can feel me on this issue

Anyone has a list of Software Interview questions? I mean questions that were actually asked during a specific job interview not some generic/ISEB what is UAT bla bla bla. I have a few and would like to hear from experienced testers about best answers for these questions.

Would also help others preparing for or hoping to have Testing interviews

Of course google and agencies are standard. More interested in which specific agencies are likely to be of use (based on people`s experience) to someone looking for first line/desktop support roles.
