At one of my previous positions the company was looking to save money so they would take the average windows admin salary and bump it a bit and not make UNIX knowledge and experience a requirement in the job req. So what they would get was windows admins who wanted to become Unix admins.
Getting them to count to 5 verbally would confirm this because the windows admin would always start with 1 whereas an experienced Unix admin would generally start with 0 because of the way interfaces, disks and Unix in general start with 0 in a numbering scheme.
