Hello all.

I have an interview tommorow for a role as a 'E-Commerce Support Analyst'

The company i work for is an online reseller and i currently work there as a sales and service executive but i am wanting to get more into the IT support type of role. Passed 1st exam on my compTIA A+ course last week and just waiting to take the last exam so i can get certified. Just about to start Network+ course too.

I have a friend on the IT tech team who is 3rd line support and he says this role is very basic and nothing at all to worry about it in terms of technical ability hence no fomal IT qualifications required to apply. Mainly customer service skills based.


However 2 of the 'Desirable skills' are experience with TRansact-SQL and previous application support.

I've looked up wikipedia for the Transact-SQL information but theres not much on there. My intention is not to blag in the interview but merely to get a basic idea/understanding to show that i am keen on the role and have been trying to research the basics of it.

Also could anyone shed more light as to what they could precisely mean by "application support" does this refer to any application whatsoever for example?


Any help would be much appreciated.
 
I don't know any SQL at all to be honest, just know what it is. My friend says i do not need to worry about that however.

Thought that what's they meant by applications just a very vague description left me unsure.

Hopefully get it although it may mean a pay cut but it would be a step in the right direction at least career wise.
 
I am not trying to blag knowledge, (my fault, wrong terminology used in earlier post) i am simply intending to be honest and advise i have no working knowledge of SQL currently but i have looked into it online and believe that with the training offered i will have no problems picking it up as it looks quite self explanatory.

I applied today and got offered the interview for tommorow so i cannot claim to have developed amazing SQL skills overnight.

Thanks for the contributions to all.
 
Not had the interview yet, got it at 330pm but just spoken to them, it's entry level role, more as an administrator of sorts. They said nothing to worry about if i get the job as they will send me on a course and also pay for me to get MS certified. Fingers crossed.

There will be no technical questions asked in the interview either it has been confirmed.
 
Nothing to do with the role. One of the people interviewing disliked the fact that i'd had the audacity to apply for an internal vacancy and made it more than clear.
