When I'm reading resumes and interviewing there are a lot of 'tells' on how clueful someone is, how passionate they are about what they want to be doing.  And if I get one bit on Gen Y attitude (what is in it for me), then get the hell out.

The passion for the technology and the genuine curiosity is, I think, the key.

"What was your favourite shop to visit as a kid?"

If they answer something like Jaycar, local computer shop etc.

"Did you take things apart as a kid?"

"When did you first start to program?"

"When did your family first start asking you for tech advice?"

These are the key questions.   If someone doesn't remember how to change duplex then that's just a fact they can learn, but the passion to learn and the interest and continual curiosity is what I look for.
