The phone interview is quite straight forward… should last about 30 minutes simple. Here are the questions I was asked: 1. Tell me about your IT background 2. In a ticketing system, how do you prioritize tickets and projects when there's a lot of them; if they are [all] mission critical, how would you handle? 3. Tell me about a time when you had to take ownership/ accountability for work outside scope of job responsibilities 4. Do you know what PowerShell is? 5. If a group policy fails to update how would you resolve that issue? 6. Can you tell me the difference between a switch and a router? 7. What is the difference between TCP/UDP? 8. What are the layers of the OSI model (be ready to go through ALLL 7) …. And why it’s used 9. What is grep (think Linux)? 10. How to pull up system processes in Linux command line
