      Interview #3 - Tech To Worker Initial Questions Note: Interviewer was the original "Systems Operations Leader" IT supervisor.

We need a site to site VPN set up. Do you uhh. Know how to make it secure? 3) Can you tell me what steps you uhh. Would do to do that? Make it secure? Mmmm. 4) We uhh. Want to use software for VPNs. What mmm, are your thoughts? Mmm? Hardware or software VPNs? 5) We have a ticket to virtualize uhh. Computers. How would you uhh, do that? 6) Could you mm. Uhh well. Virtualize video across the internet so uhh. We don't need to run long HDMI cables across mmmm. Everywhere. 7) Is there uhhh. Anything I can answer? Mmmm?
