New job interview- bit of a weird one

[el Kuarlos]

I've a decent academic background behind me, some sales experience right at the sharp end, and have built and kept sorted a few rigs nothing to blow any form of trumpet about on these forums...I apply to a software company who make bespoke stock control software as telephone support.

Got rejected. Then I speak to the office manager and get told that a new vacancy has come up...

involve application support for in-house staff, support for our in-house internet messaging service and the day to day maintenance, administration and troubleshooting involved in running our in-house EDI Bureau – a bureau which forms a link between suppliers and customers and transmits documents of different formats and standards by electronic means

I have never touched a server in my life, nor have I bs'd them...my cv goes no further than strong it, so I think they are looking primarily at my potential rather than where I am at right now, but I really want the job, I enjoy IT and it is in demand.

Put simply, I could walk in there tomorrow with all kinds of assumptions, but what should I expect they want from me- I am an industry novice and if someone who works IT for a living sees this...well, any tips?

If you haven't lied on your CV they should see you are entry level. The job sounds like a basic apps support role so as long as you are willing to learn and listen to what people tell you, there shouldn't be a problem. Just carry on being honest and show interest and enthusiasm.

EDIT: probably already happend by now... hope it went well.

As said you'd be fine, jobs like that are pretty procedural so as long as you can follow instructions you'll be fine
