Re: a question regarding resumes

["R. Wyatt" <falcon@comanche.wildstar.net>]

  The only problem is that sometimes an applicant rehearses.  I would
expect to be asked questions relating to nfs/dns, but a recruiter threw me
off the other day, she asked if I knew vi.  
  Sometimes a more reliable indicator would be to present the candidate
with a situation whether it be artificial or not, and watch what the
candidate does.  I recently left a job where the systems administrator
could not write a simple bash script.  My question is should I concentrate
on the interviews more ?  By no means do I take them lightly, but I still
don't have a lot of success.
 The one thing I don't do is say I have skills when I don't,  and I can't
help the feeling this has cost me some jobs.
