Ok this question is for everyone.
I have always fell into my jobs in the past, usually because of networking. So I have never paid much attention to the interview process.
We are looking for an “IT HELP DESK TECHNICIAN” at my place of business. This would basically be someone that I could train to do most of my time consuming helpdesk support tasks. We are not looking for a lot of experience, in fact those that submitted resumes that had more than about four years of experience were immediately rejected (as overqualified and requiring to much compensation for this job).
Since I have never interviewed anyone in particular, I would like to go to the experts. Meaning You!
If you have interviewed prospective employees in the past. What do you look for? What do you ask them?
If you have been interviewed for a job like this recently. What questions did you answer that you felt made a differance? What did you think was stupid? If you were conducting the interview would you have do something differently?
