I am working as a Storage and Backup Administrator for quite sometime now & was recently interviewing candidates for storage admin role in our org. I've interviewed about 20-30 candidates so far with their experiences ranging from 3-15 yrs.

I have noticed a pattern where people don't answer the basic storage questions be it SAN/NAS troubleshooting, they don't understand efficiency concepts nor have an idea on the storage fundamentas.

What are your experiences in interviews? Any thoughts?

I've noticed a trend, in particular with less experienced candidates, all resumes look the same, it's like they all have joined some consulting firm to build their resumes and provide some basic course. However none of them have any understanding, it's just mugged up keywords. The few who actually have worked on storage, only mindlessly follow SOPs without understanding what they are doing

Administrators just following SOPs without actual knowledge seems to be the norm now.

This will not only hinder their career but also the quality of engineers in the market!

I am Interested
