Firing squad. It’s for a replacement Citrix admin, so I don’t have much technical background about which to ask. I was curious to know what the candidate does to keep skills sharp and if they participate in any professional communities.

I am sure you made a *cough*shameless plug*cough* for your favorite IT community.

I did not, actually. Had $applicant mentioned they participated in any, I would've brought up ML.

ML is my go-to during interviews. Still looking for applicants? I'm still looking.

It's a position that's for our "senior Citirx Admin" vacancy. You'd have to move to Georgia.

I'll have to take a look. One good thing about being a widower and no kids, I have nothing to make me want to stay in any particular place.

NE Ohio - Amish Country... for some reason the assumption is that I'll be moving somewhere!

Quite the paradox to be Amish and work in the IT field. . . the field of FVCKs

Sweet Tea, Grits, and fried chicken!
I would tell him the state bird is the Mosquito, but I don't want to scare anybody off.

Hey, I was raised Mennonite, not Amish.....
For those in the know, that's funny!

Been there, know the weather, skeeters, and the ants. Not my favorite weather, but I'd still move there for a job. Most of the state is just great, then you have Atlanta where it can go from great to scary in a couple blocks.

@travisdh1 all that is totally accurate. But if you were working with @EddieJennings, you'd likely be out in the NE corridor of town. Lots of great food out that way, plus fewer sketchy neighborhoods.

Speaking of sweet tea wondering when our Chick-fil-A is opening
