标题: 给大家报个喜，给embedded system行里正在找工的TZ鼓鼓气 (12楼更新中)
好一段时间没来freeOZ了。。。

最近就业市场有点回暖了，我这个星期拿到了offer (写embedded c/c++程序的). 希望做embedded system正在找工作的童鞋们不要放弃。
投出简历 - 很多时候得等上个把或两个月时间才能等到回应，大家别灰心。

大家也可考虑一下政府部门的工作，把你的简历修改成他们所需的 skill set, 尽管不是很对口，只要你的selection criteria用实际例子（有些可以拼凑的）写得具体详细就有很大的机会。（我刚reject了一个政府的职位，做技术支持的跟embedded system 不沾边，而且后面还有几个政府跟私企的interview pending, 所以大家不要放弃！）

All the best to all of u - job hunters!

先挖个坑，有空过来填补这4个items跟大家分享：
(Excuse me for the English input, as my Chinese Pinyin is really bad...

  )

*** Getting urself stepping into the door.

- Firstly, READ & UNDERSTAND the job advert! Try ur best to extract as much information as possible from the job advert and the company relevant web site. And find out the "Most Wanted" skill sets for the particular position.  An example of the job advert said, "Experience with SCADA systems – specifically Citect are required", that gives u an idea of putting more details of your experience with projects of SCADA, PLC, Machine control, Monitoring systems etc in your resume (i believe that those ppl with embedded system experience at least can pick a/some similar projects you have done before). Try to "sense" out the key requirement of the role from the job advert or job description document if any, and modify ur resume with a thorough description of your related or close experience.

- Secondly, resume. i believe that there are plenty of articles talking about it including our famous Mr. David's from FreeOZ. It is really beneficial to read through those articles and sample excellent resumes. And I would like to share TWO "extra" points (someone else may have mentioned about it) on the format: 1). Try to use "Justify" instead of "Align Left/Right/Center" for the contents of career summary, professional experience/project description etc, that will impress the reader with a feeling of "tidy & clean"; 2). Other than the nice paragraphing/bulletins/listings, use a proper header and footer to indicate your name and contact details such as email address, phone numbers etc, that makes your resume looks "More Professional".

  - Thirdly, make ur cover letter as simple and clear as possible. Use bullets or lists to tell the reader about your top 4 or 6 skill sets best matching the position advertised.

  - Last but not least, FOLLOW UP those "most suitable" positions after u have submitted ur applications through SEEK or whatever other ways. It is pretty ok to call up the company/person in charge of the recruitment to make an inquiry of your job application even immediately after you click on the submit button! And you are most welcome to ask how long time they need to process the shortlisting, so that u can make another call at a good time. Here goes an example of my personal experience, i rang up the company two weeks after my application and was told that they may take 2 to 3 weeks to short list all candidates. After 2 more weeks without receiving any response, I called up again, they told me the project manager was not in, and I was not short listed as there were 4 "excellent matching" recommended candidates already. But instead of hanging up the phone I got the project manager's name and his particular extension number. Again, i called the manager next day, and made a very brief introduction of myself, I never expect that the manager ask me to hold the phone and "dig" out my resume from the big pile of abandoned applications and read my resume on the spot! The phone conversation lasted nearly half an hour ending up with a chance of interview for me!

*** Typical technical questions i was asked during my interviews (embedded C/C++).
- Some typical questions I was asked during my interviews for embedded s/w engineer
1. Can u briefly describe what is Pointer, why u use it?
2. How do u get the cpu run up your main() function, give me an example of your previous experience of any particular MCUs?
3. What debugging skills do u have with embedded system?
4. What is design pattern? Give an example of your previous programming.
5. How do u find interrupt? What is the points over polling?
6. What experience of RTOS u have?
7. How do u debug your memory leakage and memory corruption in your application?
8. Do u have any testing experience in embedded system? (I really dont understand why i was asked this question, I was not interviewed for test engineer position

)

- For government position interview, most of the questions were from the "Selection Criteria", so far there is no "technical" questions in the interviews, most of them were behavior questions. And EXAMPLES are most welcome by them. Typical questions go like this: "Give an example to illustrate your task managing ability/interpersonal communication skills." etc.

*** Bargain ur payment - even when u were out of job.
...

*** A few tips for writing up "selection criteria" for the public sector.
