Well.....
Interviewer was 15 minutes late to start with.....I was almost 40 min's early...doesn't day much about the company.....
Job advert was for a Systems Admin..... about 15mins into the interview the guy says....
" Erm.....eventually this role wll be almost completely SQL Server orientated / DBA kind of stuff..." ....come again ??? I thought this was a Sysadmin role i applied for - not DBA !!!
" One of his questions to me : What is the first thing you would do if a developer hands you a package ( i assume by this he meant a piece of finished software they had written ) to install on a server........
My answer : Test on a test server ( if resources allow ) to see if it works and if it's stable enough - I assumed he meant that it was going on a new server.......
His reply : Would you back it up first perhaps ?................
My reply : Well yes, that may be a good idea...... !!!! Whuahahahahahahahaha![]()
But he didn't say if it was a new server or an existing server running something....
Ah well.... I know he didn't like my answers - I feel like a prat even though i know I know my stuff..... this easy one got me and now I feel kinda dissapointed that it went so rubbish really....
He must be thinking this guy is talk out of his $^$&&, but I know that I know my stuff - honest guvner !
On to the next advert then I guess....![]()
