Interview friday!!!

Post by CaterpillarAssassin »

With a company called "TechCavalry." Basically a mobile pc repair company. I just had a phone interview where he asked a few scenario questions etc, said a little bit about the company. He asked me to come in friday for an interview and to have me troubleshoot a computer as a sort of test i guess. My question is this, should I bring anything like my service disk with various spyware utilities on it and an antivirus program? Or would I look funny walking in with it? I dunno. I would really like to get this job, as I need some more experience and such. Only really interviewed for 1 tech job that I didnt get. Any suggestions?

I'd say bring your tools with you if he wants you to work

I would agree...if bringing your tools might help you do a better job, and you're familiar with them, I'd say it would be better to come prepared.

better to bring them and not bring them.

I don't see why you couldn't? if you were out on a job you would have to, why not for the test?

Bone up on registry surgery. Get to know your most-fearsome enemies, like CoolWebSearch. Tools show you are prepared, but hands-on eradication shows you're knowledgeable.
