Kurt -
Your joking right??? Do you really expect an employer not to put a tech
candidate through a tech screening? Just because someone has certs does not
mean they know what they are doing. Yes, an argument can be made that
CCIE's know their stuff. And I would have to agree, but I would still put
one through a tech screen. As an employer, I need to make sure the
candidate knows what I need them to know. If I am hiring a CCIE, he better
know his stuff. Other then the certs, how do you suggest I check on his
knowledge. In addition to finding out if the candidate is proficient, the
tech screen allows you to put the candidate in a stressful situation and see
how they react. Sometimes the answers to the questions are not as important
as the way the candidate reacts to the situation. If I asked someone a
similar question, and got your response, I would probably end the interview
pretty quickly.
