With going for an interview when it comes to IT jobs, things can get a little trickier in comparison to the likes of Customer Service or a sales interview. But hey what interview doesn’t have its own flair?

First of all, IT Jobs (especially IT Development) are all about the skills – you don’t go for an interview if you don’t have the skills – it’s just madness. The only time you could possibly get away with it is for IT Support jobs – some companies will take you in and train you once you have an interest in IT or perhaps previous experience in Customer Service.

When it comes to IT interview questions – whether it be for IT Support jobs or IT Development jobs there will be certain questions for each and then there will be the odd one that will be more specific to the company thrown in. We’re afraid that we can only help you have way through. However, if you know your answers to the following questions then the ones that are thrown in should not be a problem.

What we’ve done below is split the interview questions between IT Support interview questions and IT Development interview questions. What’s great is that some of the questions below where interview questions that a number of candidates have been asked before in relation to various IT jobs across Europe. – How do we know this? -We have some recruiter friends who give us some great tips.

If you are soon to sit an interview for either sector – Best of luck and we hope we helped.
