If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Article : Infosys Interview for 3+ Year experienced Dot Net professionals[^]

Updated one in moderation : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=135658&aid=803463[^]

Member : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=10971594[^] who has been reported three times for plagiarism before [sock puppet[^]] and at that time also his content was approved. I don't know how.

I think we don't need to know that we should maintain eye contact during an interview... Laugh | :laugh:

Not much time wasted by them - and boy, does it show!

Rep points, and possible CV / resume references (hoping like heck that the prospective employer doesn't actually look at the articles / tips themselves and just goes "Wow!" at the thought of someone who can write... D'Oh! | :doh:

I think we should still give him a try. I sent a message that also the texts have to be his own so I'd still give him a chance to participate if he comes up with his own explanations.
