Re: a question regarding resumes

[Aaron Sherman <ajs@ajs.com>]

I've always tried, when making up questionaires, to include lots of
questions that require discussion. For instance, I might ask "what does
grep do, and why is it useful". But, I would avoid a command-line argument
question.

More generally I ask things like "What is TCP and how does it relate to
UDP". This question really brings out a lot about the questionee because
it can be answered from a number of points of view. A programmer and a
sysadmin will have very different answers as will a UNIX admin vs a DOS
admin vs a networking hardware admin.
