Thank you.
In other words, to make sure that the IT provision (eg equipment, including hardware, software and networks) works and any problems (regardless of whether you or someone else works on it) are sorted.

So i'm not going to supervise anyone? right? -
Optionsnetworker050184 Mod Posts: 11,962 ModWhy don't you ask the people who are offering the job? You are sure to get more accurate answers from them than us guessing off of one sentence.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

I understand now. Thank you very much. I have an interview today that's why I'm trying to understand what it really means. -

This is my first time seeing that on a job description. -
OptionsChris:/* Member Posts: 658 ■■■■■■■■□□Really? Most IT jobs that are at a professional level require some sort of oversight of personnel. You may be delegating, leading or teaching it all depends. Most of the time when I see a statement like that I assume I will be doing one or all of the three and maybe even supervising them.Degrees:

I have never participate in a forum before, but I will definitely be a member of this board. I'll let you guys know how the interview goes. -

I would doubt that you'd be supervising. Sounds like a general "must be able to work in a team environment" statement. Pretty common.Currently Working On: 70-643 - Configuring Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure

One of the guys interviewing me ask if i have any supervisory experience that the job doesn't require that. -

I did ask the question, and they made it clear that the job doesn't require any supervisory experience. overall, it was a good interview. -

Normally,
I ask them when would it be 'ok' to call back and follow-up and specify a date (May I call you Tuesday Morning and follow-up with you? Or what time on Tuesday is a good time of day to call you to follow-up?) And a thank you letter/note goes out seconds (or the nearest mailbox) after the interview so they receive it the next business day.Plantwiz
