Hey all.

I’m interviewing for a position next week where experience in MP2 and JD Edwards is preferred.

I’ve never used either.

Can any of you offer some general advice, tips, or whatever?

You’d think that since these were the same people who had me learn Officevision for AS-400 without any sort of training whatsoever, they’d be confident in my ability to pick up software suites as I go along, but it’d probably be helpful to be able to throw some jargon around when I talk to them.

Ironically enough, I don’t have a problem, at least conceptually, with the backend; I do MySQL stuff in my spare time. It’s just the interface that I have no experience with at all.

Thanks in advance.
