I side along with Ski here--- soft skills and open-ended questions that really try to help nail down just what KIND of *person* this is-- is this someone that will get along well with the other co-workers? Is this someone that, at 10pm on a Saturday night, will remote-in to the office to examine and deal with a situation that's causing alarms? Is this someone that will always work to get the job DONE, or does this person always head out of the office as soon as the clock hits 5pm exactly? And so on.
Yes of course, technical questions are of course par for the course, but as a hiring manager, I have discovered (after a few hiring 'mistakes'), that first and foremost, I'm hiring a PERSON- it matters not (to me) whether or not they're a walking man page or an internals guru. In some situations, I think the technical questions can be overdone. -kcb _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
