If you are just trying to get a junior or intern position in a c++ environment, then a basic understanding of c++ oo principles should suffice. You might want to look at my favorite c/c++ interviewing slide show: http://www.slideshare.net/olvemaudal/deep-c http://www.slideshare.net/olvemaudal/deep-c Did you know most of these things before watching the slide show? Great you are ready to work! Did you need to look a few things up but got excited about what you were learning? Great you are ready to work! Did you think this was stupid and that you already know enough, why should you bother looking these things up? Ut oh, you are not ready to work in this business. That being said, it seems like you have an underlying concern about getting into a job at all. Have you applied to some junior c++ positions and been rejected? Are you living in an area where there are few positions or the competition is very high? Giving us a bit more information about your situation will help us to know how to help you.
