?(Although I obviously still gave him a tech interview, as we 
do with all candidates.)? Have not been disppointed in him either, by 
the way, after several months on the job now.


I have been out of the?tech industry?for about 4 years due to work-related 
injury.? I am in the process of attempting to get my feet wet again.? And, of 
couse, I took that time off to see if I wanted to continue in the tech field.? 
Or, change careers to do something, community wise.? 

?
Anyhoo, what would be some tech interview questions and answers.? I guess if I'm 
going to continue with this career, I should update my knowledge base, 
AGAIN....lol
?
Thanks for any and all input.

Agreed.? I recently hired a sysadmin in large part for this very reason. 
? He wasn't a sysadmin by training, but had clearly spent a lot of time 
and effort learning Unix admin on his own time and had capped it off by 
earning his RHEL certification (again on his own time - and dime - his 
employer was not giving him time or $ for this).? His initiative really 
impressed me, and the fact that he had learned it well enough to pass 
RHEL certification gave me pretty high confidence that he knew what he 
was doing.? (Although I obviously still gave him a tech interview, as we 
do with all candidates.)? Have not been disppointed in him either, by 
the way, after several months on the job now.
