So, I have SQL on my resume because ive used it in the past in Access. On the interview, they asked me a few questions like what right join is, etc. asked me to describe what a relational dabatase is, primary key, foreign key, etc
i know the basics so i obviously passed that part. But, i havent used it much in the past other than very basic statements.
The job would be a position where i would go into the database and query out ad hoc request in SQL Server. Alot of the common request are already prebuilt. The job would start in 5 weeks. Currently, just finished up a contracted position, so without income and this position is a pretty solid in at a big company.
So, my quesiton is. could i learn enough in 5 weeks to query the basic ad hoc request out of SQL Server or is this too big of a risk.
"Do I turn down this job offer?"
If they offered you the job, you must have done something right ... Take It.
You can Study and Learn-On-The-Job
"without income"
You can make it until you quit or get fired ... so make it while you can.
I'd take the position and fake it till you make it. Get a good SQL book and go from there.
Yeah, I'd definitely take it as well. You can just use Google while on the job to find out whatever you won't know.
