Hi everyone, tomorrow I have an interview for a Service desk analyst position. The job requirements did say a minimum of 2 years experience in the field was necessary, but did say the team would consider more junior members provided they have Studied IT before and have some experience, both in which I have. But, not in a Helpdesk role. However, I guess they like what they see on my cv as I got a call for an interview on the same day I submitted my cv.
The interview process will involve a formal interview followed by technical questions, I'm assuming these will be scenario based questions, e.g. "A user phones complaining that she cannot to the Internet, what would you do?" I think I would know how to troubleshoot a lot of these situations, however, how should I answer if I don't know how to troubleshoot a particular situation. Also, does anyone have any other general tips and advice? Thx for reading and appreciate any advice.

Break the problem down to smaller parts and use deductive logic
Use the corporate knowledge base
Research the issue (Internet)
Ask a senior analyst -

To add to DatabaseHead's list, find out everything you can about the problem they are having. When it started, exact steps they took to get the issue/error, the exact error message (if there is one), if anyone around the person is having the same issue...
I think service desk interviews one of the most important thing you can do is relax and be as friendly/talkative as you can and that you show enthusiasm for your chance to work there. Best of luck!
