Great job opportunities in NYC, made a mistake

I was doing great as a systems engineer interview went on over the phone. I was asked 'what exe is used to promote a member server to a domain controller?' I drew a complete blank and said i used the server manager to do so.
DC PROMO!!!
How could i forget? This is something i will never forget. On the bright side, my resume has been great to me =D
Someone, proceed to shoot me

That's the command used to promote a domain controller which was the answer to the question asked by the interviewer.
I first learned about the dcpromo when I took on my first certification 2 years back.

1. When looking for a job refresh your memory with some recent CompTIA books. (Network+, Security+)
I am serious. There are things you are just used to doing and that are so basic you get tripped up on simple crap. I went on one interview and did awesome on the security questions since that was what I did for a living. But every time the Project Manager asked a question I got some crap he got off the Internet. I stumbled on Token Ring Network. Not because I did not know it but because I came from talking about security layers and access control via physical and logical. Then a question on troubleshooting Checkpoint NG. Then a question on what security policies I had written to Token Ring Networks...
I got the job but sat there for a minute and I swear I heard the "record needle sliding off the record" sound effect.
I had to re-read the Technet article on promoting Server 2008R2 to a domain controller. Even in 2008 I still do DCPROMO. Force of habit, must be.
How's the job hunt? I'm in NYC and I just landed something today, finally, after about 6 months of looking.
I get called for alot of sys engineering positions but I have little clustering experience and have done only bare-metal installations.
All in all, search is going good. The positions I feel comfortable dont pay enough, and the ones i dont feel comfortable, want me and pay super well.
Ill keep everyone posted, tomorrow I speak with a gentlemen for a Sys Admin/Sys Engineer position in NJ. Wish me luck
wait....$17.50 - $20 for a Sys Admin/Eng position???? thats super low for that type of position. hell, that even on the low end for entry-level helpdesk/desktop support....
