Interview Questions

Description:

Remember when you interview, you should be interviewing the place just as much as they are interviewing you. Questions I will usually ask in interviews.

To Resolve:

1. General Questions:
   • Why is this salary exempt? Do you regularly work more than 40 hours a week?
   • What kind of hours will I be working?
   • Will there be weekend hours? If so, how soon am I supposed to respond to issues? What priorities am I expected to respond to?
   • What impact is it if I’m 5 minutes late? How about Dr. Appointments?
   • Will travel ever be required?
   • Do you support training expenses? I.E. Will I get reimbursed for working on my Master’s degree? Certs?
   • What is the dress code?
   • How big is the team I will be working with?
   • Is there upward mobility?
   • How many tickets/ projects/ tasks does the average person handle/ manage in a day? When someone is behind how is that handled?
   • Do most of the team meet up after work or is this a work go home group?
2. Technical:
   • What kind of backup system do you use?
   • Is this more of an admin job or a desktop support job?
   • Will I be in charge of more than one site?
   • Can I run custom powershell scripts? In QA first of course.
   • How many servers?
   • Who handles first level support?
   • Is there WSUS? How do you handle Windows Updates?
   • Is there MDT/WDS? How do you handle imaging?
