I applied online. I interviewed at Pilot Fiber (New York, NY)
Interview
The first round was a phone screen where the recruiter or hiring manager asked basic networking questions. This was followed by an online assessment that required submitting a written scenario describing a real networking issue I resolved and the business impact it had.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Can you describe a real networking issue you encountered and explain how you resolved it and what impact it had on the business?
How I answered: I described a scenario where a network outage or misconfiguration was affecting operations. I walked through how I diagnosed the root cause, the steps I took to fix it, and how my resolution saved the company time and prevented further downtime.
