SysOps Interview
I wanted to ask for good vibes and luck today as I have my interview with the company I work with to move up to a sysops engineer!!!!! I am nervous and excited at the same time. I will be working with Linux and Windows as well so im going over the Linux commands that I wrote in my notebook and I said a brief prayer this morning!
I will keep you all posted on the results!!!

I would do that if I was not at work.... But since this is a internal Interview I will do that the next time I have a phone interview at home

I did not do as well as I thought... they asked a lot of Network questions and instead of BSing my way through them I told him "I can find out bc I did not know"
I froze on the Linux Questions the ones he asked were
1. How do you get the IP address on a linux machine
2. How do you make sure you are in the right directory on a linux machine
I was nervous and I hope I did not bomb the interview!!!! I know I did well on the Windows Admin part of the interview because I explained in detail what I did and what commands I ran and how I used ADUC....
I will keep the updates coming I hope to hear something by wed (thats what my manager said he hopes to have an answer by then)
FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also looked up the answers to the Linux questions that he asked and emailed him a thank you note with the answers under the thank you message.

pwd (present working directory)
I think Windows versions are ipconfig and cwd, respectively?
Even if you don't do so hot, take it as a learning experience. You know what the job entails and can focus your self-studying around it. Maybe make friends w/ someone in the depth and try to shadow them once a week for 1-3 hours and get them to teach you a few tips or tricks. Then you can re-apply in a few months.
That's only if you didn't do so hot.
Hopefully you did better than you think you did. I've left a few interviews thinking I did bad and still go a job interview. Often people bank on likeability, baseline knowledge, and what seems like an eagerness to learn the parts that you don't already know.

Right....
I have done interviews where I did not know the answers or a answered them wrong only to get a call back for a second interview. What threw me off though is I asked him "what are the next steps" and he said "Oh I really don't know, I was just asked to do this interview to kinda see where you were... I would think you will either have another interview or they will be in touch with you to let you know something"
A lot of the Networking questions threw me off because he heavily focused on Networking. Now I know I need to keep studying Linux and Learn Networking so I will start studying CCNA stuff over this weekend and focus on Networking Linux, and throw some powershell and Command prompt in there too.
