For some reason whenever I interview very junior candidates - every _single_ one of them has BGP on their resume as a skill.

0% of them have correctly been able to explain what BGP is used for.

Junior candidates for what position?

Would answer "I use it host servers at home and have load-balanced access to internet via several end-users ISPs(no BGP sessions with ISPs so 2 VPN tunnels from home to server + 2 BGP sessions from home to said server via tunnels and server itself have session with it's ISP) count?" :)

Would "I'm just getting lists of IPs blocked by local censorship authority/IPs which are better to access via IP from OTHER country to put them all in VPN" count? :)

p.s. I'm not network admin and never put "BGP" on resume.
