IT Support job, what am I in for? Anonymous 2017-09-12 04:48:58 Post No. 9163298 [Report]

This might not be the appropriate board for it but I really need the advice.

So I found a local job that pays pretty freakin good for what I'm.doing. It's a technical support job. The ad comes off like I'll be installing software and hardware for boomers who don't know their way around a computer.

I figure anything I don't know I can just google a how-to and be done with it in an hour. Anyone with experience in the work can tell me otherwise? What to expect? The IT job is specifically for Point of Sale systems and VOIP installation.

This is the craigslist ad https://imperial.craigslist.org/sad/d/it-tech-needed-for-imperial/6284042184.html

desu it depends, if you have no real IT proficiency the whole "just google for directions and you'll be done in under an hour" approach may not be as smooth as you think it will be

I plan dedicating some time to study the subject before I call the guy. Is there any important terms that come to mind that I should know before going into an interview?

Your employer literally doesn't give a fuck about you. They only care that
1. You can install fast
2. Your clients are happy

As long as you convince them you can do that in the interview, you're set.

Are you going to be configuring? There is a lot of base knowledge that you would need to possess to do that correctly.

Do you know your way around network systems?
