Re: Not knowing how to look can make it hard to find
"...In my experience that's often not the case, at least in the regions we work in. Our interviews are very real-world, and of course still many people don't make the grade..."
This isn't always fair.
I have 20 years of experience across various roles. Asking me to recall things ad-hoc that may be obscure or esoteric proves memory not experience.
Mind you then there's the interviews where the person interviewing you has a networking background (I don't) then wants to drill down into network architecture.
And says stupid things like "well wouldn't you use BitLocker as a start to securing your Office 365 implementations...?"
And we're not talking the application suite here.
Testing memory ain't the same as testing knowledge and is why so many "professional" certifications aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
