I have to convince people I can be a Database Admin - Senior Application Support. Given I know precious little I am going to need all the help I can get post interview if I get it. Bizarrely I'm in with a shout....
I have the interview tomorrow and my blag powers are good, but I'll have a short space of time to start expanding my cranium.
I currently maintain/administer a fdelightfully simple SQL web based app/database.
It is simple. I like it. Yet I do not 'Know' SQL in terms of being able to respond coherently to a request to write some SQL. It SEEMS simple therein lies my mistrust.

Apparantly: SQL, C++, ITIL, Network Architecture, PHP, ASP, 'Generic Web Programming' {by which I assume Java probably)......
the list goes on :P
My tack is going to be "As you well know, and have read from my application I know none of the above - but could very quickly"

If this situation were a LOLcat it would be a kitten sitting in an eviscerated Comms room saying
