I know I can nail the technical questions but I’m worried that i look sleazy.

The additional context wasn’t necessary but I wanted to see how the photo posts are formatted for lemmy

    In your interview you will almost certainly be asked how you’d solve an issue that you have no idea how to approach

    ^ This completely. I am a tech support Tier 1/Tier 2 support hiring manager for a private tech company. Our software and hardware product is our own creation and we have no expectation you’ll know how to fix any of our stuff.

    I ask someone a question troubleshoot a TV screen + generic PC that’s showing a blank/black screen. In the scenario both should be powered on and displaying our software, but it’s possible neither are at the moment. I ask how they’d approach getting things back up. My POV is that it’s a type of fault that everyone who’s ever worked a PC/ChromeBox/VCR/DVD/GameConsole/CableTVbox/etc has ran into and should be able to spitball an answer regardless of background.

    What I am listening for is the steps you would take to work through a problem and why. I am also paying attention to if you are someone that can work through a problem, it’s a surprising number of people who just don’t seem able to.

    Someone who I didn’t hire wasn’t sure and ended up suggesting we check the wifi.

    Good luck on the interview, and the clothes look great. Anything business casual will almost always be accepted and if they ding you on no tie be glad you dodged that bullet
