Do you really do arbitrary trivia in interviews?
Lol.
This must be an IT thing because a developer would go, "ah, what is this shit? Hang on, I did this once back in 08', let me being up the documentation' and proceed to bootstrap a production-fix by EOD.
- InvaderFizz 3y agoDevOps/SRE. Our technical interview is pretty regimented and cookie cutter. Over the course of one hour we cover a wide base of practical knowledge to validate the candidates existing knowledge or their ability to quickly acquire the needed knowledge (use of google/stack overflow is encouraged). As an icebreaker, I pick out items from their resume that stand out and look like strengths. My goal is to play to those strengths and get them comfortable talking about their past battles.
