However, soon after that, I've been invited for another interview tomorrow. I had four interviews last week which were pre-screening interviews. Based on my job application log, I've applied to over 143 applications in the last two to three months. I've interviewed five to 10 different companies in the last two to three months. Still ain't got nothing yet. However, I'm feeling like I am getting warm in the last few interviews and I hope I get something sooner or later.

      @Cobuman  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You don't necessarily need to know all of it but most of it... If you learn most of this stuff it will increase you chance in getting that job. When it comes down to it, it's better to know the answers than come in to an awkward situation in which you have to say "I don't know". That makes you look bad. That's just the reality of it. But, it's pretty easy to learn. 😁

      @@Cobuman I disagree with your reply. You're not expected to know half of these stuff, at least for an entry level IT support position. Some people even get hired with just basic knowledge of computers, but are then trained to catch up to speed.. The IT managers or interviewers really want to know your commitment and willingness to learn. But yes it is necessary to know more than just the basics, so to have an edge over most candidates.
