Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)

I talked to a recruiter at a BYU college career fair and left him my resume. When the official recruiter came to town he scheduled an interview through our recruiting office. He had been all over the nation interviewing candidates and was only looking for one position. he asked a lot of personal questions and only a few technical questions, like about the unix terminal. "If you wanted to change permissions to read/write all recursively how would you do it?"

Interview Questions

If you had to change permissions to read/write all recursively in the unix terminal, how would you do it?

Other Details

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.
