QUESTION POSED ON: 02 January 2008

Where can I find sample interview questions for network administrators on the Web?


>
EXPERT RESPONSE

That is a great question. In fact I looked at several places to try to find something that would suit your needs but wasn't able to find anything that was well written about interviewing people for network management positions. I did spot a book on Amazon that was tailored to that very question. The few sources I found are listed below.

During the interview, be sure to address both technical and behavioral issues. It is imperative that a network manager be able to communicate clearly at a business level to provide adequate funds and resources to his/her team.

Good luck. I hope you find the right team leader to help the network team succeed.
