Dear Nki,
It seems clear that you where unable to interview at CCIE level. Obviously,
someone who has just passed CCIE knows routing and switching. If you
interview someone try to understand that they may be nervous and not able to
express themselves under the stress. A good interviewer would simply try to
find the best in the person and focus on what they know. Not delve on a
candidates negative side and then gloat on the ccie forum where people are
trying their best to pass. My guess you just didn't like the guy and where
subconsciously looking for a reason not to employ him.
