Good post. Those questions are very different from what I get for development interviews. Show there is lots of variety in tech jobs. I would recommend for younger people to test the waters if each possible tech niche and then see what resonates with them the most. Then focus on specializing in that, ofc making sure the niche is broad enough and future proof enough before committing to itI'm looking for a Linux Eng/SysAdmin job too. I've had enough of programming at least for now. Linux SysAdmin is much easier.
I've some experience with Linux (RHEL/CentOS) so I'm hoping to find something soon. Most jobs on the jobboards ask for DevOps but they are some Linux jobs.
You have to be ready for a technical interview and get nearly every question right. I've had a few interviews so far and made a note of the questions. Things like (for RHEL/CentOS, not Debian):
- Which command to extend a volume group?
- How to verify a RHEL install is correct?
- How to determine which file belongs to an RPM package?
- What is a zombie process?
- How to check how many CPUs on a machine?
- Name SELinux modes.
- What is $0, $$, $?
- Name 3 DNS records?
- How to validate a public certificate?
- What is load average?
- What is AIDE?
- What are the NFS port numbers?
- Explain RHEL/AD integration.
- What is lsof?
- What is PAM?
- Describe the boot process
and so on.
