Is that going to end up being a static site? Unless they're just looking for a graphics/webpage designer, I'd do somethign interactive to show that you can program AND make nice looking pages.

I don't know what these people you're interviewing are looking for, but if it were me interviewing for the job I'd build something that the company itself would find useful. Like an app for their hr department to manage info on their employees or a calendar app for their salespeople to track their sales and time or an inventory database over the web that the user can add items, delete items, modify items and query and prints out reports.

I'd put it all together and propose an intranet site if they don't already have one, and if they do you say you thought your app(s) would make a good addition to their current intranet.

Something they can look at and say "we need something like this".

If you already work for the company and are trying to get into the IT dept then you can probably identify some problems the company has that your web skills can solve. If you're trying to solve problems within the company before you even have the job I think it shows you're a go-getter with some hussle and they'll like that.

i remember FCI's traffic stats clearly showed that there's actually more porn surfing going in during working hours than "off" hours..

something like that. it was pretty funny.

A really nice touch is to have the beginning of your program have a registration page where the user has to register before they can use your program, and then have to log in using a username and password. It's really easy to do and I think it's impressive to an interviewer because it shows you build security into your programs (even if a good hacker could get in in 5 seconds, they won't think of that

so make sure whatever you build is password protected before people can use it.

find out what programming language the web guys are using (prob either asp, coldfusion or php) and get a wrox book on it http://www.wrox.com/ they have code samples you can download and just copy and paste into your program.

I can't believe corporations are firing people all over the place for looking at porn, while they're whoring themselves out in their advertisements in an effort to appeal to my dick. Shouldn't their employees know what my dick wants?!
