distributions used by the company were Debian 3.0 - 4.0, Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux (RHEL) 4 - 5 and CentOS 4.4 - 5.0 (which is built from RHEL 4 & RHEL 
5's source code).  I have also written applications, including extensive Perl

As a senior administrator, I was one of three people responsible for inter-
viewing all new Systems Operations and NOC candidates.  Additionally, I was
