It is surprising to know that STILL somebody attend an interview without doing some minor/major research on the job that he or she applied. Interviewers sometimes will ask some tricky questions that need calm heads to answer or to identify the trickiness of the questions. Also interviewers also are human being who understand that you might have some interview jitters or few butterflies in the stomach, so as to give you a chance, they might ask you to submit a written answer to them usually via email (I think these interviewers are so kind and really want you to have the chance to get the job).

It might be understandable if you can’t answer questions like during the interview,

*For ICMP packet especially while using the ping command, which destination port the packet will be sent?

*What are the protocols that exist/located at the application layer?

*What are the usage of DRP flags in TCP?

But what I cant understand is why these candidates failed to provide a proper or correct answers for the questions above in their email. I do wonder whether they ever use any of the internet search engines available freely. During the lunch time just now I did have some chit chat with my colleagues. I did point out that interview can be a good indicator of whether the knowledge that you have is sufficient enuff in the industry besides of learning in improving our own communication skills especially in conveying our messages and thoughts. But then again first of all a good research must be done. If not all you can do is embarrass yourselves.
