      Senior Linux Systems Administrator Interview

      Mar 4, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Charlotte, NC
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Socialserve (Charlotte, NC) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      Found therough charlotte.craigslist.org. First is a phone screen, consisting of some discussion regarding your skills and background, should run 15 min to 30 min, followed by an overview of the technical operatin environment at SocialServe.com This will run 15 min to 30 min. There will be some technical questions, on networking and Linux systems. If you are interested in continuing, you will be given a sample task, involving shell scripting. This will be time limited, and must be returned in the three hour start to finish window. Expect to be stressing technical skills, cultural fit, on site support, and a social good component. Add in additional hats and experience, and you should be good to go.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Being that I've not been a heavy *nix user or system administrator in a long time, some common commands were to be explained, two of which I was not familiar with. My test involved script writing, and even with a xunit testing framework, shell scripting errors can crop up and be difficult to diagnose. So, I was not a strong enough technical candidate for their previous search. Note, they are currently searching again as of today March 4th, 2015
