Last week I applied for a new job at Rackspace. I had a brief technical phone interview on Friday to gauge my knowledge. By brief I mean insanely tough. Answering 50+ highly technical questions over the phone can be pretty daunting. Luckily I knew the majority of them and only missed probably 5 questions. They […]
