This app had the questions and answers word for word lmao only 99 cents on Google play store. I would've passed without it though shit was cake

Good looking out Downloading it now.

Damn, Detroit Lions called me about an IT internship set the interview up and everything. Wish me luck.

It's one of them interviews where I get interviewed by 3 people at once. I hate those types Shit always throw me off.

just look at it as a regular convo with ya boys. ask them questions, ive always found it easier to interview with someone/group if i approached it very casually. Yes its for a job but 70% of the interviews look at to see if you can get along well with them and the team. the rest is if you know what youre doing... especially in IT.

kill that shit

This. Handle it like a regular convo with plenty eye contact. I had a 5 person panel interview for a networking position and treated it like a regular conversation with each individual and even shot questions back at them about each of their departments. I got the job but ended up turning it down because my current job promoted me when they heard I was going to quit. Just make sure you on your shit and ask plenty of questions.

One thing I've learned to do during technical interviews is to start firing hard-ass scenario questions back at the staff asking me shit. When they ask why I'm doing it I tell them:

"This interview is as much about you assessing my skill level as it is for me to assess yours. I need to know if you guys have at least the same level of experience as I do. In the event something critical happens, I have to know that my coworkers are able to handle a situation as well as I can."

At that point I start firing off some of the most obscure ass, difficult as shit questions towards them as a group. Even if I missed some of their questions, it's almost a guarantee that they will fail every single one of mine and I frame them all as if these are scenarios they should be familiar with so that any manager listening in on the interviews will start to look at his crew skeptically.

I probably should have done this yesterday, I had an interview for Jr network engineer position. I held my own for majority of the networking questions. It was some that I knew but was drawing a blank on during the interview smh. Soon as I walked out they hit me smh

maaaaaaan look... I had a tech interview where I soared through some hard as fuck security scenarios. I'm tellin 'em all kind of shit about hardening their network, firewall configuration, deploying IPS across the network, wireless security, DLP, etc but then their networking guy hit me with:

"What's the difference between a router and a switch"

My ass was stammering and stuttering.

 

[Bcotton5]

Lmao that n8gga asked me what's the difference between rip and ospf and I was stuck for like 10 seconds. I answered him.but I didn't explain it all that well lol

AND I got a basic as subnetting question wrong that I didn't realize until I left smh

 

[konceptjones]

subnetting always fucks me up. I used to have a subnetting calculator on my phone 'cause I can't fuck with it for shit.

 

[King Erauno]

anybody here up on vmware? especially NSX??

I'm supporting it for two of my clients. What's up?

i need some training/book recommendations. job wants me to learn it and i havent seen shit out there for it

 

[King Erauno]

aye take it from me...even senior network people dont give a fuck about subnetting.

another thing about interviews is that if you dont know the answer to a question, just say so. dont take 5 minutes trying to work your way through it. they'll see that as you bullshitting them. at least you have the balls to say " i dont know", and folks like that..

 

[Bcotton5]

The thing is , I KNOW subnetting lol, I guess I just felt the pressure with 4 5 peoe looking at me and trying to do it in my head

 

[leftcoastkev]
