  In the end, the characteristics that separate the good candidates from the best ones may be their problem-solving skills and their commitment to the job.

  Communications networks and IT infrastructure will fail, security will be breached, disasters will happen, and problems will occur, because they are inevitable. The important thing to look for in a candidate is the ability to act and react under pressure. How fast were solutions implemented in a previous crisis, how effective were those solutions, and, most importantly, what was learned from those experiences?

  By its nature, the job requires a high level of commitment. Someone must be trained and ready to act when issues occur 24/7. For a storage engineer and their team, there is no absolute downtime: an all-hands-on-deck situation is merely a microsecond away. The best candidates should not only understand this aspect of the job, but embrace it and its implications.
