It's an average NPN transistor.
What's the emitter voltage? Current?
What's the base voltage?
What's the base current?
What's the collector current?
Will anything get hot?
Last guy I interviewed, we spent a couple of hours at aAny other comments?
whiteboard, doing the first steps of an actual VME module
design. After I hired him, he finished it.
John, you are right to ask simple questions like that.
I did the same to some applicants in the past, my favourite
was: Here I have 12V DC, and a 12V relays, and I need to
drive this with a uc output 0-5V, can you draw a circuit?
If they forgot the diode, then forget it.
But those guys mostly got it right.
But it is not always so straight-forward.
Once the guy I selected (actually the best of them),
was not liked by the Big Boss, and once an other chief tried
to bribe me to recommend an other guy, who came via an agency
where his wife worked, likely he or she got some provision.
I did hear huge fights on the telephone about a black
technician too, 'as blacks would be lazy'.
Now and that in a country that has no discrimination.
No, that *is* discrimination, of the worst kind.
Well, it's not quite as bad as a lynching.

Lynching's assault, not discrimination. And it's in-your-face (if
it
ever even happens any more), so you can fight it. You have
recourse. People get arrested and put away for it.
Ok, but denying life is still a tad worse than denying a job, both
based on skin color.
In Jan's example you'd be unable to get a job but never know why.
That's wrong.
It's rather wrong to hang, or drag someone to death, based on skin
color too. Because it is "in-your-face" doesn't make one any less
dead.
That they have that stereotype *is* discriminating against people
based on their skin color; that they feel free to cite and discuss
it as a factor in hiring means it's tolerated.
No argument, here. My disagreement with you was with your
hyperbole, not that discrimination (based on skin color) is somehow
"good".
I'm amazed that countries that regularly throw stones at America
think nothing of discrimination we'd consider abhorrent.
Sure. Many don't see their hatred of Jews as being just as
reprehensible.
What about Catholics vs Protestants? Can you say Belfast?
How about the War of Roses
