Interview for MIS Officer

scottalanmiller

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.

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.

Thank you again..

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.

Ah, righto. I think I know what you mean.
Training sounds fun.

It sounds like it's a fairly standard sys admin role (well, for Australia anyway.IDK about other countries). What do you do in your current role?
Just because your current role doesn't say "Sys Admin" doesn't mean that you don't already do everything on the job description.

They might ask for examples of troubleshooting. I was asked about general stuff (I think) for my current job.

As @scottalanmiller said, remain calm and collected.

Who is doing the interview? The actual company or a local (to you) recruiting company?

Have a look at the company website and do a bit of research into the company. like who are they, what do they do, what is the core business, etc...

You may have an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview, in which case, you can ask any questions that you may have. Have a list of them ready as you will most likely forget them during your interview. It also helps you look prepared.
