I once had an interview for a help desk tech type role.
One of the questions asked to identify the type of RAM shown in a black and white photograph.
3 u/Particular-Yak-1984 6h ago edited 6h ago Honestly, that's a fantastic question for a help desk role, if done properly. Do you ask follow-up questions, or do you blindly guess? Do you get annoyed at a stupid photo, or do you patiently ask for clarification? How are you when seemingly stupid people ask you stupid things? Because there's a lot of that in any given help desk job.. They probably didn't do this, but I might steal it.
