Hi mate,

First off, congratulations on the interview. Fingers crossed for you.

My first Service Desk role was back in 2011.
I was shown into a room which had a PC on the desk and it wouldn't start up. They gave me an hour to see what was wrong. It was basically stuff like Hard Drive Sata Cable not plugged in, Memory loose in the machine, Drivers not installed correctly so having to boot into Safe Mode.

I then had another Hour interview with the IT Manager and he asked me things like what does Ping do, what is TraceRoute, Why would I use Safe Mode, How do you deal with difficult customers, What are the 7 OSI Layers.

It was all a bit random to be honest, but at the end, he said he just wanted to see what I knew.

As long as you show you are keen and willing to learn, that goes a REALLY long way in my opinion.

End of Interview Questions:

Where do you see the company in 3/5 Years,
What do you see to be the biggest challenges for the company in the coming years?
Do you encourage Promotion from within?
Do you encourage progression via Self Study or Training Courses?
What can Company X offer me that no other company can?
