Thank you all for the advice and support. I feel much better about the
interview now. And, after re-reading the job requirements, I realize
that I do have the skills they're looking for. They don't require
knowing a programming language, only a "working familiarity" :
* Solid knowledge of UNIX/Linux and/or Windows system administration tasks
* Hands-on experience writing regular expressions and SQL queries
* Working familiarity with Python, JavaScript, or C/C++
With all of the support and resources that the list has provided, I
feel very confident. I will let everyone know how it goes tomorrow.
Thanks again to everyone!
