This kid's going to get a fail grade for interviewing me
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: Heyas x2
Stranger: are you an IT professional?
You: Yep
You: What's wrong?
Stranger: nothing but are you really an IT professional? It's important
You: Aye, I know my way around computers
You: Whatcha need to know that fer?
Stranger: I have to interview one for a college project
You: Ah alright, well hit me with some questions and I'll give it a shot.
Stranger: Okay, lets start with your name,company, and title
You: The company I work part time for in the IT industry is called BGA works. We're located in Bermuda. I'm one of the system analysts.
Stranger: Name?
You: I ensure that all of the programs that we use are properly working, updating them when the need arises and implementing new software when it's requested.
You: Torian Alexander
Stranger: thank you, I'm Charles Wilson
You: Mmkay, next question Charles?
Stranger: What are your responsibilities?
You: ..
You: xD
You: You: I ensure that all of the programs that we use are properly working, updating them when the need arises and implementing new software when it's requested.
Stranger: What kinds of skills do you need to perform your job?
You: For my specific role, I've had to use the skills I've learned in spreadsheets and databasing, networking and maintaining a windows 2000-run server. Things such as debugging programs that we've worked on in C+ is an essential skill to perform our day to day operations.
Stranger: What do you do during a typical day?
You: Clock in, if there have been no special requests from the higher ups, maintain the server, ensure workers aren't doing things they shouldn't be doing, check the various computers connected to the server for viruses/problems and perform any duty requested by my supervisor.
Stranger: What other jobs have you held that might have helped prepare you for this position?
You: I was apprentice IT support for 2 years at a private school in England, worked for a company that created websites at a corporate level and took a few programming courses on the side.
Stranger: Do you have people whrk for you, and if so what do they do?
You: Nope, I'm in a team consisting of 4 people, 1 specialises in hardware configuration/modification, and the rest of us are more into the server-side support.
Stranger: What is one of the most challenging things about the work you do?
You: Tightening up the code within the software we made for the company. It's easy as hell to program something, it's the reducing the cluttered code and optimizing it that becomes a challenge
Stranger: What time management tips could you suggest?
You: Time management tips? In what context?
Stranger: I think in general, the list of questions I was assigned was a little vague.
You: Hmm, well truthfully it's a laid back position where we just do whatever our duty asks of us. No-one really questions us because they have no idea what we're doing. You may have to bullshit an answer up for that
Stranger: I'll try
Stranger: next question may make more sense
Stranger: How do you balance your family, job, work, and leisure time?
You: Well I've been single for a year, but we're given a basic 9-5 job with overtime whenever it's needed to complete system overhauls and tasks which require the system to be offline. Basically I mold my life around my job, it sounds weird but after awhile, it became second nature. The instant I leave work I head to a friend's house or out to a movie with friends. It's a real easy thing to do
Stranger: final question: What advice would you give to someone interested in this career?
You: Start out slow, become an apprentice for a small time company that offers you on job training. Do various courses and don't be afraid to list them on your resume, stock up on qualifications, those look amazing on resumes. It's either that or move in with your aunt and uncle in Bel-air
Stranger: thank you, you've been a life saver. Do you mind if I quote your answers, with the exception of the "bullshit an answer" part?
You: Yep, good luck bro.
