Show You Care and Coach Yourself

Grening made note of the remote sites mentioned in the job posting and used Google Earth to see if he could spot them. He brought a printout of his findings to the interview and asked if these would be the buildings he’d likely be supporting.

“Turned out there were a couple more,” he said, laughing. “I was just using publicly available information to my advantage, but you want to show initiative. Show them you’re not just somebody blowing in for an interview.”

Grening had the benefit of having his CompTIA A+ material fresh in his mind when he sat for the job interview’s technical assessment, a standard part of an entry-level job interview.

“A lot of people are using them to screen their employees, so if you want to get past the technical assessment, make sure you’re competent in your knowledge,” he said.

When it came to that technical assessment, almost all the material covered was also found on the CompTIA A+ exam.

“I studied hard for those certification exams, so I knew almost all of the answers,” Grening said. “For people going into an interview, if you’re working the CompTIA certifications, even if you passed them the first time, go over the material so it’s fresh in your mind. You really want to prove you know your stuff.”
