Hai friends

comming december 4 i am going to the interview for Linux administrater any body send some question answers and helps to me ( this is my first interview )

How about this:

• do some research on the company and their core business
• learn what you can in advance about the role you'd be performing
• ensure that you're ready (via your expertise or studying in advance) to answer relevant questions

This is on top of the basic Linux sysadmin stuff. Since you're applying for a Linux sysadmin job, you've already got that covered, right?

Prepare yourself for
Disk Managment including LVM and RAID
Users/Group Management
Backup/Restore
File/Directory Permission
Network Management
And Server administration part what basically used by company.


Thanks

Not much time between now and then. It must be presumed that you already know your stuff. When I was unemployed, I allocated a couple of hours every day just for studying. I picked an area that I thought would be important and focused on it for a while, then re-evaluated where I was going with my studies. Repeat. That was back when everything was 10Mb/s, and the standards for 100Mb/s were competing. I got a book on that, and that is probably what got me my job. There were some critical questions about why I had chosen to wire a network the way I had and what implications that had for the switch over to 100Mb/s. I aced the question.

I would totally agree with anomie's recommendations to find out what you can about the company. Then review your knowledge, identify potential weak points, study and practice. Presumably, you have a Linux system you can play on. If you know what distribution they use, install it. Make sure you are familiar with it and do your studying with it.

Leading up to the interview, make sure you are well rested. You don't want to be pulling all nighters trying to study and stressing out at the last minute. It will show. Also, since this is your first interview, I wouldn't expect it to be your last. Job hunting is typically a repetitious process. Lots of interviews, and then one really connects. You may be lucky, but don't let it get you down if this one doesn't turn out. Keep studying.

Hi,

the last interviews showed me that there are a lot of questions not regarding to the job itself but to interpersonal activities. So as mentioned by others the time itself is a little bit short to teach yourself in Linux. This should be done before it comes to the interview appointment.

As mentioned by user anomie teach yourself about the company you are planing to work for. Knowing as much as possible gives you the best overview how and what this company will be. Be sure you understand if this company will only use Linux or eventually will develop software on Linux, there are large differences in the job profile if you work in software industry, work/questions and problems will be extremly more complex in software development companies.

Some of this interpersonal questions where:
- most complete success in your life?
- largest disappointment in your life?
- what way you are planning for the next 5 - 8 years?
- best team success/greatest disappointment in team work?
- intercommunication skills and the ability to transfer know how to other peoples

Hope this will be helpful.

I'd also add try to find out which distro they use and check any specifics for that distro eg which pkg mgr etc.
