They just ask questions to see if you have any experience with troubleshooting in the past. Experience with Windows Servers and AD is a big plus since the majority of phone calls will require some sort of password reset. Especially on Monday mornings! They also prefer folks with any PowerShell knowledge.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was pretty chill. Mostly I just talked about the work on my demo reel. The whole department was there, and we sat around my future manager's desk and went through my past projects. They mentioned some upcoming projects they needed help with, and I was upfront about how I'd handle them – what I was good at and what I still needed to learn. I ended up doing the work well, and by being honest about my abilities, I didn't overpromise or set false expectations.
