    Yes, many years ago in my first full time IT job.

    Me: "Is it plugged in?"
    User: "Yes"
    Me: "Have you rebooted it?"
    User: "Yes"
    Me: "Im going to have to escalate this call..."

    My first place, no. Even though everyone had their own group specialism (hardware, software, networks & phones), we had to do a rotation between field service, workshop and helpdesk (being last). During the first few weeks, we job shadowed more experienced staff.

    So it was really done on experience, plus the knowledge base (built into the helpdesk system), and remote control software instead of a script.

    No. At my first tech job, we had a dedicated person who answered the phone and typed up trouble tickets. We were then dispatched by the IT Manager to the customer sites.
