Question: How do I become an Oracle DBA or Solaris admin? I will be graduating with a MSc in Networking this september and I was wondering how can I get a job as a DBA or Solaris administrator.I do have a degree in Computer Science as well.Any IT professionals out there please advise.Thanks

Answer: True ORacle DBA's are few and those positions while highly paid require oodles of experience. The reason is because Oracle is expensive and really only used by large companies with large enterprise needs. Those companies will only consider folks with extensive hardcore database experience to administer there systems, a simple Master in CompSci is not enough . My Advice start off learning something like SQL Server , become proficient in that , obtain a DBA positon in that then move your way up into Oracle. Oracle shops are very unix centric so , be sure to have strong unix skills as well.

Question: What would it take to get a Oracle DBA certification? I already have a college degree and I just want to take the classes.

Answer: You can get this information at education.oracle.com. You'll need to take four exams and at least one instructor led class. In the US the classes cost about $600/day if I remember correctly. If you take the classes for each exam, I think they run for five days each. I have interviewed dozens upon dozens of Oracle DBA's and reviewed hundreds of resumes and the applicants with all the qualifications don't always get the jobs, by any means. Having a college degree and OCP certification is super, but industry experience and common sense are vastly more valuable both on the job and at interview time. Good luck!

Question: Interview Questions For The County Of Los Angeles Oracle DBA? I'd like to know if anyone has gone through an interview for the County of Los Angeles for a technical position (such as an Oracle DBA). What types of questions do they ask you? Are they very technical questions or just general situational questions? Will they give you a computer generated test? How long was the interview and how many people did you have to meet with? How long before you find out the results?

Answer: They might ask you technical quesitons, but I'd imagine that they'd also ask a lot of questions about your willingness to work with others. A good competant DBA is hard to find. A good competant DBA who is friendly, easy to work with, and not condescending to others is a gem.

Question: Which certification is better to pursue between SCJP and Oracle DBA? 1. Depending on the availabiliy of jobs in India and the initial salary 2. Future prospects 3. Expenses involved to get the certification Pls dont refer to a website ,I want your view. BTW,I am 32 yrs old with only a general B.Sc degree. ,working as a sales executive,but i want to change industry.And I am presently pursuing both MBA & MCA but confused as to which one to follow,since I have less time & more monetary constraints.Plz give me a well-advice.

Answer: Well in my opinion, u should go for Oracle DBA; there are many job opportunities in this field. After Oracle-Sun merger, Oracle certifications demand got higher...as far as initial salary would be near around Rs. 3 lacs. As far as expenses concerned...if you go for institutes..They charged high fee for the preparation. So its better go for elearning websites. They provide authorized content with that experts comments and suggestions regards to problems n queries.. The main point fee is very reasonable as compare to institutions fee structure. For starting, get some basic knowledge about Oracle database. Then go for OCA (oracle certified Associate) -->OCP (Professional) -->OCM (master)... akki OCP, OCA,

Question: Which certification is better to pursue between CCNA and Oracle DBA? 1. Depending on the availabiliy of jobs in India and the initial salary 2. Duration to acquire the certification 3. Future prospects 4. Expenses involved to get the certification I work in a call center and I want to shift my career to a technology side.

Answer: In my opinion go for Oracle DBA, salary packages and demand for an Oracle DBA is more than CCNA. An avg salary package for an Oracle DBA is in between Rs. 2,75,000 and Rs. 3,00,000. IT doesnt take much time to earn Oracle DBA and CCNA Certification, it all depends on the applicant leaning ability, how quickly he learn and grasp all the knowledge. if you go for some authorized content through a good elearning website, you don't have to pay much. From institute point of view they charge more the courses, and dont provide much attention to students as compare to help in elearning websites

Question: Does industry sector matter for Oracle DBA? Hi, I am getting two offers for working as an Oracle DBA. One - for a housing company, paying less. Two - for a university, paying more. I am in a dilemma to chose one for me. Just wondering if working in a properties investment sector and a education sector make a difference? If i chose option 2, will my chances of getting job in corporate sector be limited later? pls advice. thanks a ton.

Answer: Those who work in the public sector find it very, very difficult to move into the private sector later on. I would recommend that you go with the private one, since you have a choice. It's only if you have no choice that you should consider the public sector.
