          I'm assuming a DSE is a Desktop Support Engineer.

          Ah ha. I had no idea what that was 🙂

          I only guessed that because he mentioned in the OP that he wanted to learn Rollout engineer. whatever that means.
          😉

            @Dashrender l'm new in IT industry I can start from there

            You may be stuck finding out when you start work. Even jobs with common terms often vary so much that there is no way to guess what they will be like for day to day duties. Even desktop support can be so wildly different from place to place that no tasks might overlap.

              Eh, first IT job. I still don't articulate my thoughts well on here. First and Second Domain Controller @scottalanmiller not domain. There are no primary or secondary domain controllers. Hammering this into my skull

                  Acronyms aren't universal.

                    If DSE is Desktop Support Engineer, then it's not standard. Support and Engineer don't go together. Support suggests ops (admin) and Engineer means the opposite. You normally have Desktop Support or Desktop Engineer.

                    DS supports the fleet. DE handles the setup of images, design of the desktops.

                        With the way this entire conversation is leaning hard on "Generic as hell" I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe it's a language barrier or wording, but this has raised many, many red flags for me.

                          in london? Google gave me the same, but I was assuming since the name of the company is Shell (bank street, London) that Corporate Data Systems (a company) wasn't it.

                              or, maybe you're right and CDS is a company supporting Shell?

                                Would you be interested in doing some short-term work (Rollout and standard DSE II duties) for CDS at Shell (Bank Street, London) for 2 weeks from the 3rd January?

                                Perhaps it is the company CDS.

                                  @jimmynelson This sounds like an entry level job. If you have no experience, and they hired you for it. They expect you to know nothing and be able to learn on the job.

                                  Just chill out and be willing to learn.

                                  Congrats on getting the job.

                                      Even a non-first job, often they expect you to be leaning on the job. There is no job that you can really prepare for ahead of time, you just can't know enough about it before you get started.

                                            Assuming your CV's are honest, you already have the necessary requirements for the job. There is nothing to prepare for if you don't know the products they are using.
