5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Network interview questions, August 4, 2004

By

This review is from: Conducting the Network Administrator Job Interview: IT Manager Guide with Cisco CCNA Interview Questions (IT Job Interview series) (Paperback)

This is an excellent text for any IT manager. I was impressed with the coverage for the pre-interview stages and how you can identify those job candidates that are most-likely-to-succeed in the job role.

Better still, I was impressed with the job interview questions. They are designed for a telephone interview, and the IT manager can just ask the questions and compare the responses to the "ideal" answer.

Overall, this book is a real timesaver for anyone hiring a Cisco or Ethernet Network Engineer.
