What's that ... candidates for technical positions being asked technical questions at interviews? We can't be having that, surely!
What about their "Yuman Rights" if they don't know the answer(s)?
Far better (that is, politically correct, and
fair ... to
them, that is) to hire them on the basis of their Lie Sheet (er, I mean CV) and then spend the next five years trying to find a way of getting rid of them!
Meanwhile, back to the question ... I presume you mean fault finding and repairs at circuit level (replacement of faulty components, and such). Unfortunately (and setting aside the question of whether it is economically justifiable), a lot of modern equipment is difficult to repair (SMD, and all the rest). However, if (like me) you tend to limit your activities to what we might call the
retro equipment scene, there is still much fun to be had, in the time honoured fashion, in actually fixing the kit. And when it comes to circuit boards
per se ... I have even been known to
wash them. Yes, that's right, with hot soapy water (although I should point out that it's best to do this
after disconnecting from the mains)!
