Upcoming IT interview....need preperation help!!!

[OmegaBunny 10+ year member]

A little background....

-I have a Bachelors Degree in Business and completed my Master's in Information Systems in November.

-No formal experience working in IT, I currently do Social Worker type work.

-Studying for my A+ cert. I have been reading "CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Seventh Edition" by Michael Myers for preparation. I'm about 700 pages in.

-I have been working on computers informally for about 10 years; building, repairing, troubleshooting for friends/family etc.

I have a interview coming up for a local hospitals IT department and would like to know what questions to expect so i can prepare for the interview.

I know there are a lot of people here who work in the IT field and I'm hoping you can give me some ideas of what they might ask and what good answers would be.

Thank!

They'll ask for Cisco IOS experience, and they'd more likely appreciate a Security + certificate due to HIPPA laws and information security.

As fir the cert, the Sec+ and network+ were next in my list. I wasn't getting certs fir this particular job, just certs in general to help me get a job. Lol interview is in a couple days so no time to even prepare for Sec+. Also the position is general IT and some biomed.

Appear to be as teachable as you possibly can be. No matter what education you have, the specific tasks for an IT job will call for something you haven't seen before. So the better you adapt, the better an employee you'll be, and then the more appealing you'll be to an employer.

I was recently hired into an IT position at Graphic Packaging's largest paper mill in the nation (more is computerized than you would think). I was violently underqualified, but I was humble and malleable. If new systems are a challenge and working with a team isn't natural, they will pass on you despite your credentials and qualifications being superior to other candidates.

IT is a dynamic field (outside of a repair shop) and can really come at you from all angles. Pair your background with the right attitude, they will snatch you up. From what I've read, you're more qualified than anyone else in our department, so have some confidence there for certain.
