I just have a question about .net entry level jobs in VA. I am a master degree student in field of software engineering but I am graduated from department of physics.

I decided to work on Java first, but I have changed my mind because I don't have any Java programming background except Java class in master degree so I decided to work on C# because it was easy to me to work with Visual Studio and it's fun to me to work with SQL database and HTML stuffs.

And I am a member of a IT consultant company in Reston where I took course from there about .net and I created online recruitment system for their web site. Now I am applying for CPT (internship) but I didn't work in a company as a .net developer so I don't have experience.

Here is my question. If I get CPT and find a job, what do software companies want from an entry level .net developer? and what do they ask as interview questions?

For one, you should be able to break down simple tractable problems into code.
For another you should be able to harmonize with the team.

There are many companies who provide an abstract of demands for their potential entry level .net developers.

Responsibilities: 

Seeking a entry .Net Developer that is able to independently solve complex,  analytical problems with  innovative approaches and solutions....

Job Requirements: 

Entry Level .NET Developer Required Skills: 

• 1+ years of software development experience 
• 1+ years experience with SQL 
• Familiarity with XML (any combination of XML, XSLT, and XSD)

OOP and Project Code management should be a given.

But [dramatically] less programming experience may be required of you, because of your physics degree. Physical problem-solving skills are what the company may be looking for. Tradeoff's in programming experience are common.
