All

I am currently in the process of interviewing job
candidates who if successful will become my boss ;-)
Basically the manager who will be his boss has asked
me to do the technical side of the interview and check
if the candidates are OK. I've had the "pleasure" of
interviewing 2 so far and they were pretty weak
technically. I am not sure if I have been spoilt by
the creme-de-la-creme here but I did check them a
little thoroughly especially with the candidate who
was bold enough to mention under key skills "very
strong knowledge of windows 2000/2003 Active
Directory". 

Now I am definitely no expert, but if someone is bold
enough to claim that, he better not buckle up under
pressure and reply that the questions I am asking are
only worthy knowledge to those working at Microsoft.
And this is the reply I got when I asked him what the
FSMO roles did. Actually, I got a little miffed as the
guys had the audacity to demand pretty much twice the
pay I am getting and were paper MCSE's. 

The feedback we received from the candidates
afterwards said the interview style was .....
aggressive.

So, my question to you guys is, if you interviewing
someone for a Windows tech-lead position (with focus
on AD), how technical would you want him to be? This
is a guy who would be steering the design of an
infrastructure to support tens of thousands of users.
