if you have suggestions on topics to cover helping network operations engineering that you want to see in here, 
please feel free to contact me off-list, and let's create unique content that can be helpful to others.

I'm also a fan of Amazon's STAR approach: Situation, Task, Activity,
Result. They didn't invent it but they're really good at it. STAR is
where you ask the candidate to tell you about some situation they
encountered in their work, what they did, and how it turned out
(including what they learned and would do differently). It's open
ended and bias-neutral. Which is a big deal.
