Testing IT experience
- For an employee to have experience in Windows is standard. Again, what make two possible employees different is what they know about Windows, do they know techincal things about the OS or just normal skills like any one would? Businesses look for people who have an advanced knowledge of Windows, they hide this in the typcial line "Windows experience"
- Testing IP is going to be a large part of any IT job, to be able to test kit means you have to know what the device is and how it could go wrong to and how to fix it for the user. Businesses look for the interviewee to have valid experience and proof of when they were able to show they have tested IT. If the interviewee has this knowledge it's good news for the business because it means less work is needed before they are fully trained.
Attitudes/Soft skills:
Customer communication skills
Receiving feedback and acting on it
- To be able to communicate with other is a basic skill that any employee must have. To a business it means that the employee can talk to others about issues, update others on their progress and listen toi customer needs when needed. A customer should feel that they are being listened to and what they have said has had some thought into it. A happy customer is a repeat customer and that means more money to the business.
- An employee is not perfect, no one is. This means that they will sometimes get feedback on their work, if that is bad, good, or a way of doing things differently. A good employee will be able to take this feedback and channel it into more productivity. For a business this means that the employee will become more efficent at their work so they get more work done.
