TIPS AND HINTS FOR JOB INTERVIEW
A job interview can be considered an opportunity to sell yourself to a potential employer. While this might be a slightly exaggerated description, in some ways it’s true. Interviewers are critiquing you, assessing your skills, evaluating your qualifications, and trying to see whether you are the best fit for their organization. It's essential to be able to show the hiring manager that you're the best person for the job and have the skills and credentials they need for a successful hire. Here are some tips and tricks that will help you ace your interview and come across as a strong candidate for the job.
Spend some time researching the company prior to the interview. Hiring managers know that they’re dealing with someone who is serious about the position when the candidate has taken the time to learn about the company.
Practice answering some of the standard interview questions. If you feel overly nervous about the interview, have a family member or friend role play as the interviewer and video record yourself.
As well as formal qualifications, a Network Engineer job description should include the following qualities:
- An analytical mind.
- An ability to learn new technologies quickly.
- Good time management skills.
- An ability to follow processes.
- Strong documentation skills.
- Good communication skills – both written and verbal.
As a network engineer, you'll have responsibility for setting up, developing and maintaining computer networks within an organisation or between organisations. You'll offer support to users, who can be staff, clients, customers and suppliers, and troubleshoot any problems that arise. This may, in some cases, involve designing new networks.
Your aim is to ensure the integrity of high availability network infrastructure to provide maximum performance for your users.
You may work internally as part of an organisation's IT support team, or externally as part of an outsourced IT networking consultancy firm working with a number of clients.
