Application question(s):

Have you worked as a system administrator in a small business previously, being exclusively responsible for maintaining the entire infrastructure including user training, desktop support, network support, security and server infrastructure? What do are the skills you possess that will help you succeed in this kind of environment?
How do you prioritize and manage your tasks when you don't have direct daily management or supervision? What tools would you feel are valuable?
Imagine you're dealing with a system failure that you haven't encountered before and there's no immediately available expertise and google doesn't turn up any useful search results. What steps would you take? Feel free to use an example in your answer.
One of the computers on the factory floor has lost its ethernet network connectivity. It is not possible to complete production without this computer being able to access the internet. You do a few minutes of troubleshooting to discover the issue has something to do with the physical network connectivity between the computer and the switch. How do you proceed?
A user from engineering calls to report a network connectivity problem causing a loss in productivity for the entire department. After an hour of troubleshooting, you are able to resolve the issue by rebooting an unmanaged 8 port network switch that glitched. What actions do you take after resolution?
