This is pretty much exactly how I got hired.
In my case, I had to show design capabilities in addition to code and being creative didn't mean just applying hacks found on the internet. But my boss had to actually see if I can get through with building the project using a combination of existing knowledge and the ability to find solutions.
My challenge was to build a discussion forum from scratch with user registration and a reasonably attractive UI. So that's PHP + Photoshop + CSS/HTML/JS
- reefoctopus 14y agoThat sounds like an awfully big project for a job interview. If someone asked me to do this, I would probably install phpbb.
- eksith 14y agoTo be fair this was after the initial screener interview and I did have a couple of hours to get it done. And we're not talking all the features (certainly not of phpBB) or anything. 3 Tables "posts", "replies", "users" (replies was a closure table), topics index, topic view page, a form page for registration and one for the profile page. JS form validation and a simple layout via CSS and HTML5. It was more of a Twitter-lite (a very poor man's Twitter-lite)
