    Turns out i got an invite to an assessment for an IT Helpdesk position at a Uni.
    I said i had helpdesk experience which is not technically true but hey ho!
    I have to do an IT knowledge test and then some initial questions.
    Any ideas what sort of questions i may be asked so i can do a lil bit of homework on this one!
    Anyone ever worked on helpdesk in a uni/college?
