VMware Interview Questions with Answers Package What You Get How You Benefit

Vmware Virtualization domain Career Opportunities


This blog or any of the content on this blog is NOT endorsed by Vmware company or any Software company for that matter. Actually Vmware does'nt want us to publish these kinds of articles since it helps people who read this blog & puts in a disadvantage those who dont go through this.This is a personal tech blog & you dont need to take it as an Official blog of any company.I dont work for Vmware, I dont work for any software company hence I'm excercising my freedom of speech/blogging in a constructive manner - to help job seekers.

We have this package "Vmware Interview Questions with Answers Videos & Mindmap" which will be made available soon. I never wrote any article on this blog about what you get in this package. The reason being I never wanted to sell them to people who are NOT serious about their Career,Not serious about an opportunity to work on Vmware's cutting-edge Virtualization Technology. I dont want you to buy this if you are not seriously preparing for Vmware technology job interviews.

1.Vmware Career is NOT for people who are lazy.
2.Vmware technology is not for people who want shortcuts or cheats.
3.Surviving & excelling in Vmware domain career can NOT be done if, YOU are NOT willing to gain real good hands on experience,spend good amount of efforts learning the technology.

Let me explain what is this "Vmware Interview Questions package" or "VMware Career Package" as I'd like to call it. This is not a Cheat sheet. This is not a ripped questions set from a computer generated exam like VCP(for people who donno Vmware Certified Professional Exam). This is not a set of assured Interview Questions. This is not what can Definitely get you a job. This is not the only source which if you cover you are assured of a Vmware Virtualization professional Job.

Then what is this?

"Vmware Career Package" in simple words
is a simple set of documents,videos outlining how is
1. Vmware's Interview process, Vmware hiring expectations
2. What kind of questions to expect ( Reference questions)
3. Which areas You need to perfect
4. Flow chart explaining a typical(Not assured) interview process,number rounds of interviews, what kind of rounds - telephone screening,personal onsite interviews etc.
5. Videos explaining nearly 100+ Questions with Answers.
6. Some reference documents (From different sources - we are not authors/creators of these docs ). These are FREE Bonus docs from other sources we are sending you so you have all essential Vmware related docs in one place.

"Vmware Career Package" is what you buy only after you've done all other necessary interview preparations. This is a package of knowledge consolidated from experiences of people attending Interviews in different companies,on Vmware related job reqs (Job Openings). Just buying this package does NOT assure that You'll definitely get the same kind of Interview rounds (usually there may be more technical rounds & less HR rounds). There is No surety that you'll get same questions asked in your Virtualization interviews. No surety that you will get that job if you JUST restrict yourself in only going through these docs which are part of this package.

Obviously / You know a Tech job interview is a very dynamic process, Interviewers can ask questions on varied topics within Vmware Virtualization or VI3 or ESX or Virtual Center or Vmotion or HA or DRS or other Vmware products,VDI,ACE,... In many instances interviewers ask questions mostly based on your previous Virtualization experience & your previous projects. Then they start asking how far you know their technology . So giving a very short list of assured questions is not possible.

This "Vmware Career Package" is not yet finalized in terms of pricing & other stuff - as we are trying to improve the quality of this package.

Vmware Interview Questions helped get Storage Job is'nt this strange

One of the blog reader wrote to say that he got Storage Job in IBM because he was able to answer most of the Vmware Interview Questions. Ya I too got confused just like you. The job opening was for Storage & Virtualization administrator. But later they made it as 2 job openings.They wanted to hire a separate Storage administrator but expected him to have good knowledge of Virtualization, specifically Vmware VI3 ( Vmware Infrastructure 3). This blog reader had experience working on Storage for several years. But he was not well experienced on VI3 - ESX Server , Virtual Center etc.


He was aware of ESX Server & Virtual machines just that he had not worked extensively on ESX administration. So just 2 days before the actual interview he bought my 100 Interview Questions package ($100 - check top right corner) . I never recommend doing this way. Do NOT buy just few days before interview. I even get people buying just a couple hours before the interview. Thats crazy - there are very few chances that the same questions may be asked. But still people have confidence that if they can have this for reference & use it for a mock interview session that has indeed helped quite a few. Thats why people never complain & email me back.

Anyway I'm happy this package helps people in one or the other way to get good jobs. I'm not claiming my questions were solely responsible for him to get this job. Without the kind of Interview preparation or Experience in a solid technology like FC Switches or SAN he could not have got this job offer.



I never recommend you buy my Vmware Interview Questions package & just prepare on it(escape route actually) thats not at all gonna get you the job. You may be lucky but thats another story.What I would recommend instead is start your interview preparation quite few days earlier. Atleast 6-15 days early[Seems boring/dumb suggestion :) ].All the blog readers who followed this suggestion got 100% assured job offer. Thats the success rate if someone follows some of my boring/dumb suggestions.

Most of the job consultants do give that much time,a week or two for you to attend interview. If you have so many days start your actual preparation

1. Preparing your resume
2. Properly projecting your experience, projects , skillset
3. Being able to clearly explain your roles / responsibilities
4. Initiatives you took, team leadership you've shown
5. Excellence in a skillset or administration or a programming etc
6. Your ability to solve things or troubleshooting expertise etc

when you are preparing on all these aspects & say you are a Storage administrator or say you are a VI3 admin (ESX administrator/VC admin) then you need to cover some of the basics about the technology. That time you need to cover some of their product documentation or User guides. That time for reference you can use my 100 Interview Questions documents,only for reference or for a mock interview with the help of a friend. By going through a mock interview you are mentally perpared for what kind of questions or twisted scenario based questions can be expected.You increase the quality of the answers you give for an interviewer. You handle the interview in a much more confident manner. You feel that you are in control of the whole technical interview round. These feelings you can NOT get if you have not faced a MOCK INTERVIEW prior to your actual interview. So dont skip this suggestion.

I would again repeat DO NOT buy if u have an interview just in next 2 hours. (This is what quite a few did in the past). I dont feel happy when this package has less value to you.

I charge for the service/product & I want to see it being of some good value to you.

So I am trying to increase the value of this package > HOW ?
Planning to include more Questions & Answers from real interview experiences. Planning to include some Video links which are very relevant. Quite a few things are going to be added to this package. Obviously the price of the "Vmware Interview Questions" package is going to increase to $240. That will include access to some of the Videos about mock interviews of VI3 administration.
VI3 admin scenarios explained in video chat etc.

But whoever wants to buy this package immediately at $240 please email roger.smithson@gmail.com (Things are still being worked on so expect more updates on this)

VMware Technical Rounds Interview questions

Vmware Technical Interview Questions. I was able to compile good list of 100 Vmware Interview Questions with Answers. Since Vmware is a hot technology & there are lots of job opportunities opening up for Vmware ESX administrator,Vmware Certified Professionals: lot of people are searching for "vmware interview questions" in Google.
I checked this keyword on Google & did'nt find any other website or blog giving info other than this blog "Storage Jobs Blog". Though there are lot of Vmware professionals they are too experienced & they feel this thing called "Interview Questions List" is not a big deal. They have such a cool years of experience & knowledgebase on Vmware that they are busy with their Virtualization project implementation & they DO not have time to attend any interviews. These guys in Vmware Virtualization domain are paid so well that they DO NOT have to worry about changing job or changing company.

If you want a single document of 100 Interview Questions with Answers - click on the Paypal Big button at the right side of this blog. This document containing 100 "Vmware technical Interview Questions & Answers" will never be published anywhere it is available for only people who are willing to pay $100. Along with this doc you will get several PDF files which detail many technical aspects of Vmware Virtualization which will be given FREE. Anyone who can clear & get a job in Vmware virtualization is going to get a pay of more than US $6000- $9000 Per month. So the price of $100 is less compared to the advantage U have by buying this.
