I know I can nail the technical questions but I'm worried that i look sleazy.
The additional context wasn't necessary but I wanted to see how the photo posts are formatted for lemmy

I was never a direct manager, but I've been in on the hiring process for many candidates. Great advice, top to bottom.
When we interviewed we also liked to hear people say they'd Google it. It seems stupid but I want someone with the initiative to find the solution to a problem they've never seen.
Also the thing about ownership is key, and for us was always an indicator of someone who might want to move up later. Help desk folks who want to move up do everything they can feasibly do and offer their take on what they think the next level needs to do before escalating. If it truly needs to be handed off then it's because of permissions. But the best help desk people try to hang on to the ticket as long as they can so they can provide the most consistency to the end user.
Yep I Google stuff all the time in my help desk type job. Usually when it’s windows being stupid for whatever reason.
I'm a senior-most IT engineer for a major company and most of my job is still Googling. The rest is learn.microsoft.com.
Every good engineer I have ever worked with googles things. To me it's actually a red flag if someone doesn't Google stuff. That tells me they think they know everything, or that they would rather punt than learn. I think googling is a critical job skill for IT.
I just want to second saying you’d Google it in the interview if it comes up. I got my first job because of this in software engineering a long time ago.
Interviewer: “If you didn’t know how to solve a technical problem, what’s the first thing you’d do?” Me: “Well… to be honest, I’d probably Google it…” Interviewer: “Oh yeah that’s actually exactly what we want!”
It did feel stupid to say at the time but it made sense after.
