3 days now. I had to interview a few people for my position today. They looked pretty good on paper and I wasn’t sure at first how to interview them, but as we sat down and started talking, I started focusing on my final projects and where the IT group was going, and let me tell you, wow! After getting a glimpse of the stock of Unix admins out there, I’m pretty confident in my current skill set. Some of the questions I asked, I thought were mundane and blindingly simple, but it turns out they were stumped. Now granted, there is a lot of stress being on the interviewee side, it’s hard to think clearly at times when sitting in the hot seat, and there are a number of people that just don’t test well. In the end, we eventually decided to go with a Unix contracting agency for a bit and see how that turns out.
I put in my order for my PowerBook this morning and it is due by Thursday (WOOT!) doing the happy dance
