Agree. If an interviewee does not know something technical, he can learn it in some instances.
I have interviewed many people that were amazing from a technical aspect, but I knew his or her personality/attitude would not mix will with the team. From: Guyer, Don [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 10:59 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OT: looking for favorite Network Engineer interview questions Technical aspect aside, I think one of the most important factors in any situation is how well one fits into the mix of current employees. Before taking my last gig, they invited me in to spend a half day with them, to meet them and get a glimpse into the environment, both technical and personal. This was after my initial interview, which took place at a sushi restaurant. J I think the half day spent there was a HUGE help to both sides, in making the decision on if I was a good fit for the company and vice-versa.

There are many things they should cover - computer or user, settings enabled or disabled, security filter, wmi filter, inheritance, application order, etc. - but what I like to hear first is "is it actually linked to the OU?" That shows someone who deals in first principles. Often the simple answer is the right one. Applying the same idea to all your other questions let's you find people who can solve problems quickly.

The bulk of the questions that I get to ask will be AD related as past experience has dictated that I need that level of expertise here. Those of you that do hiring what are some questions you are using in the interview process? We are a 2003 domain with exchange 2003. We will be migrating to 2008 domain and exchange 2010 next year. This is not a Sr. level job but we are looking for an experienced person.
