File: Zeiss makes lenses for chip-making (UV lithography). We were told that current lenses must be manufactured to tolerances such that if the lens were the size of Germany, it would deviate in its surface by no more than 3 mm.jpg (406KB, 1728x2592px) Image search:

So here's the thing: In exactly one week I have a job interview. Problem is, I am totally not qualified for the position and have no idea why I was invited. I want that job, though. I want it bad.
I'm a signal processing engineer at a small German company with a master's degree in electrical engineering. I dearly hate my current job so I just cranked out an application for a good-paying position as an (unspecified) telecommunications/network specialist at one of Germany's largest state-run suppliers of technology for the police and armed forces. I never gave it much thought but to my dismay I was actually invited for an interview.
Now all I know about computers is how to put them together, install Windows and browse pornhub or play vidya. I used some boring stuff like Matlab and Python and sheit in university but I haven't used all that in years. I know nothing about Linux or network administration except for Richard Stallman memes, animu wallpapers and ricing.
I'm a smart fella though and might be able to learn on the job but first I have to get in. So what would you guys do? Is there a crash course for network security/architecture and Linux stuff that will get me through an interview? Should I put on Tom Cruise contact lenses and stream the questions to /g/ so you can slip me the answers?
This is really fucked up, man.

Not security related, but here is something.

Need more info on a program/command?
man program
program --help
These might help, but i have no idea what you will be doing.

I was called one time, to an interview for a position I was not in any way qualified
on the 2nd interview, I even told the person it there was an error
anyway, I kept moving forward, until the 5th interview
didn't get the position
I am not sure if I was just PR stuffer, or that they really wanted someone and they were pretty desperate
I understand they didn't get me:
1 I was not qualified
2 I literally acted a little disinterested, just because I was surprised on each interview
it will be a mistery forever
I still believe HR are beyond stupid in terms of tech, so they appoint a bunch of engineers and candidates, and they don't give a fuck

Can you be more specific on what the job entails?
Like what do you need to learn?
You could check out linuxacadamy, they have a bunch of stuff that might be relevant.
But another thing... You are a signal processing engineer, but you don't know how to make programs? How the fuck did that happen?
How do you make filters, tests on signals etc without programming it? I mean at least use MATLAB where you just describe the filters and it turns it into a program for you.
