Apache Interview Questions
Interviews for IT jobs including Apache jobs often include challenges far beyond the usual questions regarding career aspirations.
IT job interviews often consist of brainteasers, riddles and practical questions designed to measure your logic, reasoning, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills. The objective for the interviewer is not only to assess your technical knowledge, but also your communication skills and suitability (culturally) for the company.
Here are some example Apache job interview questions to help you to prepare yourself (answers can be found at the bottom of the page):
