What kind scripting questions may ask in interviews?

[Uncle Rob · Accepted solution]

I'm not even sure what the question means.   You'll interface with ServiceNow via Javascript.   If you go deep on UI, you may be running into AngularJS.

If you're going for a job that requires script level development on ServiceNow there's just no substitute than being competent before-hand.   I'd suggest a place like www.codecademy.com which has both free and premium Javascript courses (I found the free course covered everything I learned on javascript in my first few years of SN development).

I'll tell you what questions I'D ask: I'd test your knowledge where javascript and pre-built ServiceNow objects intersect.

- Explain to me a case where you'd use GlideRecord, and then tell me the query you'd write.

- Explain to me what g_form does and write me a small query.

- Explain to me what GlideAggregate does and write me a small query.

- What's a Script Include and how does it make your life easier?

- What's the difference between server and client side scripting in ServiceNow?

- Why should I be really careful placing GlideRecord lookups in a Client Script?

- Tell me about a case where you'd use an asynchronous call

If you can answer those with confidence, you can probably answer any other SN based scripting question with confidence.
