Beyond the fact that the person you interviewed is a complete (seemingly) moron for trying to pass himself off as a Un*x veteran, since you mentioned that you are interviewing people for a position, how many emails have you received offering to fill said position? Given how things are, I would *assume* that many of us looking for a position (who seem to know more than the nameless subject) would be more than happy to attempt to fill that position.
lol - that just struck me as funny in this time of so many computer people (highly qualified people) who can not get a position because of too much experience. Does your human resources department filter your prospects for you like most companies? | [reply] |

This guy actually came from an outside recruiter - this was such a popular post I should probably post more soon - there was a guy a few weeks ago we interviewed that claimed to have installed graphics cards in Sun E10K's!! That was a classic there was another guy who said he is a Volume Manager guru but didn't know how to see what disks are under Veritas control..Geez I have a million of them = )

Geez, you should add one more question to your standard
interview:
Q: Have you been or would you like to be a guest on
Jaywalking?
It'll save you from having to ask them any of the rest.

Haha, I've run into the same thing. A couple of weeks ago we interviewed a candidate for an operations manager position. The candidate's resume listed everything from Appletalk to fiber, but she couldn't answer a single question regarding anything she'd claimed to have done. My favorites were these:
Q: It says here you've deployed a network of cable modems. What kind of modems did you use?
A: Well, they were mostly coaxial.
Q: How did you provision the modems?
A: It was a team effort.
Q: What's the difference between multi-mode and single-mode fiber?
A: The speed.

The only possible explanation is IMHO that the candidate mis-heard the first question...
He should have heard :
How long have you been a NT sys admin?

Great post!
Please post more if you can.
BTW, you wouldn't happen to be interviewing in Los Angeles, would you?
