Junior SOC Analyst Job Interview Preparation. Need Tips

bkhayes

Hello All,

I will have a Job Interview for a Junior SOC Analyst position this Friday at later in the evening. I was told that I will be receiving actual tests "The tests will be based on the required knowledge and skills for the position, and nothing in the tests will require knowledge of specific AO situations"

I think I will be getting MCQs possibly or something like a blend of MCQs or Short Answer or Visuals.

Any suggestions from anybody here would be appreciated. I have looked thru some old threads and job descriptions of what Junior SOC Analysts do.

I have a security + certification and a GCIH GIAC cert. But, from the looks of things. I will be mainly doing log analysis and PACKET analysis. and the GCIA covers that more than the GCIH.

For a jr level role you're probably fine with the certs/knowledge you have already. Brush up on recent attacks, port numbers, etc. Without knowing the actual job listing it's hard to say what they'll ask when they stated the tests will be based on the requirements for the position itself.
