I had an interview for a PT help desk roll for a local school district this morning. I just got an email and the director wants to schedule a 2nd interview tomorrow morning.

What should I except?

    It really depends on what happened in the first interview.

    I just met with 2 HR administrators and we talked about general job things. Nothing really IT in depth.

    I'd imagine this would be a much more technical interview then.

    That's what I'm expecting. They did say he'd have some things to "troubleshoot". I wonder if it's questions or actual hardware. Nervous lol.

    Don't be. Confidence is a great tool that will work in your favor. If you don't know something they ask you just be honest, don't try to BS your way through it. As long as you provide an avenue to find the answer (google, peer, escalation) you'll be good to go.

    I work for a school district, usually the IT Directors arn't very technical people, more of a management position if you ask me. Usually rely on their engineers for technical expertise. I would expect it would be a general interview about your knowledge, experience, qualifications, and the such.

    If it is just the director don't under estimate his understanding of technical concepts. So honest and truthfull, and as others have stated in other posts, make sure YOU know what is on your resume. You could very well have a peer interview as well, since this a PT position, I would suspect they have another employee who may or may not be brought into the interview.

    Thanks. I'm just nervous because I've never made it this far in my IT job search.

    Just got back and it wasn't bad. I met with the Director and he asked me a few questions. The only hardware thing he had me do was to setup an AP with an SSID and a new gateway, IP, and subnet.
