      MIS is a pretty loose term. People normally use it, that I have seen, to refer to specifically back office systems like CRM and ERP.

        I guess it is. We will find out anytime soon.

                  in the 90's the term MIS was commonly an acronym for Managed Information Systems.
                  Today, I see the acronym used to mean Manager of Information Security.

                  These are two completely different things.

                      MIS is Management Information Systems. It's essentially what I do, though my title is abbreviated to "Systems Manager". It's probably a bit more business focussed and less IT focussed. Just mention in the interview that are you are very interested in how organisations operate and like working with non-IT staff to help them become more efficient and productive.

                          Thank you for your reply. I will keep it on my mind during the interview..
                          I'm sure it will help.

                            I think the bigger question is how many retail stores are there. This can help define the scope of the position. If there are only 5 or 10 stores, you're going to be doing a lot more than just managing. By the description it seems like there are more requirements than just an "officer' position.
                            To me, an 'officer' would sit along the lines of a CIO or VP of Technology. But by the job description it sounds like it's more along the lines of a Systems Manager.

                              I heard they have 26 stores.

                                In general I would agree. CIO is a real title with "officer" in it. I used to have an officer title long ago but it was prefaced with compliance. I was a "code compliance office." So it was clear from the title that I wasn't a corporate offices but a "compliance office".... a gate keeper for quality assurance of code.

                                MIS Officer is a title that should mean one thing but any title that isn't authentic usually means the farthest thing from.

                                  Update :
                                  I also need to have an Idea about the possible questions/testing for System/Network Administrator for financial Service Australian Company.

This will include maintaining, monitoring, configuring and upgrading servers (such as Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2012 and VMware servers) as well as networking equipment (routers, switches and firewalls).

                                  JOB DESCRIPTION:
                                  Your duties will include:
                                  • Installing, administering and optimising Windows servers and components and related technologies.
                                  • Supporting and maintaining the network management system, including installations, formatting, backups, restoration, optimisation of performance, monitoring and troubleshooting of all systems.
                                  • Planning and implementing server installations, upgrades, routine maintenance and vendor supplied patches.
                                  • Ensuring proper installation of network management systems updates and perform data backup and recovery.
                                  • Developing and maintain standard operating procedures and documentation adhering to industry best practices.
                                  • Troubleshooting malfunctions of moderate complexity on Windows systems. Isolate, diagnose and resolve problems.
                                  • Monitoring and tuning systems to achieve optimum performance levels.
                                  • Defining and performing server backups and recovery procedures.
                                  • Participating in development, testing and implementation of business continuity and disaster recovery plans.
                                  • Prioritising and responding to Service Desk tickets as appropriate.
                                  • Coordinating and participating in key process improvements as they relate to the client/server and core infrastructure services environment.

                                  I am sure @nadnerB can give me some idea how does working in Australia.

                                    So, @Joyfano , What did you want to know about?

                                    • The Advertisment?
                                    • or what it's like working in Australia?

                                    on that note, are you on the mover Internationally too?

                                            Most important thing is to remain calm and collected. Remember that you already have a job and there is no need to worry. This is a chance for you to see if this will be something better for you, if it is something that you will be interested in.
