I analyzed the output of all the machines on our factory sales floor and determined what the bottleneck machines were. I put in a request to purchase more of the bottleneck machines. The new machines alleviated the bottleneck in production, drastically speeding up the total output of the factory in the process.

So is this a kind of Leadership Principle questions? Thank you for sharing your experience. Wondering have you tried Rooftop Slushie for your interview prep? I saw some posts similar with your experience - which are really useful for me so far. rooftopslushie.com

I found this question a bit off-putting. "Over-qualified" can be a code-word for "I think you are too old". My answer was "I wanted to work for the Disney company. I am flexible in my desire for a particular position wishing only to work in an area where I can make the largest contribution. I felt, based on my experience and the available positions, that this was the best fit."

I've been on many interviews and since I completed my degree much later in life the year of graduation is newer than my older self. I do get the "over-qualified" all the time. As far as being over-qualified and as to a reason to apply for a job, with the economy today a job is a job and if you have to start at the bottom and move up -- well that's the way to go. I've asked why bother wasting time interviewing from the outside when they are planning to hire/promote from within -- and was told that they want to see what they can get from the outside. Others tell me is "who you know". Getting hired is just hard - hang in there.

My response to the HR person was that I'd not noticed anything in her email about a presentation, and that I could talk about anything they wanted based on my experience. I think the purpose of the question was to see how candidates respond under stress, and how easily they can rebound. The key is to not miss a beat or get flustered.

I have heard that before.. lot of companies like to throw you a curve just to see how you will respond…

That sounds like a mind game.

You would need to establish a baseline set of JCL procedures and identify the parameters which could change depending on the run time requirements. The domain values for all variables would need to be stored in DB2 table or a VSAM indexed file and a Stored Procedure or REXX script would need to determine what variables were required for a particular run and obtain them from the VSAM or DB2 datastore. These parameters would need to overlaid onto the templatge JCL and the resulting JCL stream would need to be submitted via the internal reader. The feasibility of this would depend on the scheduling software in use on the mainframe LPAR.

This may be too simple of an answer, but I would have answered the question by saying I would do this as a global change.

Having been successful with my own company I would like to help other companies be successful as mine.

You have to suck up to JD & the way to win at BI is totally massage his ego. I have been hearing the same old stories from him for years & each time it gets more fanciful than the last but just make him feel like he's God & that's the way to succeed at BI. Win projects & stay out of line line of fire, he's a total tool but you gotta learn to play the game, he won't be around forever.
