I bought this book because I get job interview anxiety and several interviews coming up. The book I really wanted on Amazon for IT UNIX technical interviews was backordered. So I orderd this book instead and used the book to try and understand how I might be interviewed. The first part of the book is silly nonsense and you can skip past it and go directly to the meat of the interview questions. I found that most of the questions I was asked in several interviews were in this book. I was able to have the confidence going into the interview to not have my brain freeze up like I normally do when faced with several IT staff seated across from me waiting for an answer. I got three job offers and I had a hard time deciding which one to take!

I went through this book quickly. Reading the first few pages I have not seen great differences between this book and the other one on Oracle job interview. The only part of this book that I found very useful is the interview questions. The "SYSADMIN" job interview questions are well-written.

This is an excellent book for any IT manager who needs to find a unix systems administrator or Linux systems administrator. 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 UNIX job interview questions and Linux interview questions and answers. The job interview questions 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 UNIX SA or a Linux System Administrator.
