I had an applicant very obviously read to me that Wikipedia article about Active Directory.
Knowing how to quickly look something up isn't a bad skill. The problem is when that's all they do
Sure, look up specific configuration points or architectures, but looking up AD is a bad sign.
Worse, it was just a generic question about exposure for a low-level position. I.E. Can you tell me what big thing this is used for?
It depends on the question being asked. However, good problem solving is critical and hard to find.
When in doubt I ask them what RAID 45 is.
Ooo and there's even a serious looking page "explaining" it as the first result when looking it up on Google
I'm definitely stealing this idea
