Questions will most likely be centered around trying to figure out your thought process when it comes to troubleshooting.

"A user calls saying they can't ____, how would you troubleshoot this?".

You might get some technical questions about hardware or software. Or the difference between spyware and a virus. Things like that.

I remember years ago when I interviewed for a help desk position, all three people (HR, shift supervisor, IT manager) all asked the same opening question - What is chip creep? I guess they ran into that a lot with their custom built systems.

Hi,
I am also very interested in this subject, but the reference is very limited. You can share documents as well as experience? Thanks!

When I applied for a help desk job, they usually ask customer service related questions relating to computers like my screen doesn't work, what steps should be taken to troubleshoot a computer screen? etc etc. Should be straight forward.
