Phone interview help (Deployment Support Tech)


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I really need some advice on this. I been out of work since Oct and I been pretty rusty in the tech side of things and I been applying nonstop. As of today I have a interview for on the jobs I applied for which is called Post Deployment Support Tech. To be honest I'm not to familiar with what a deployment tech is. However, from the description it sounds like something I can handle. If someone can break it down for me to understand a little better please do so. The phone interview is going to happen in a couple of days and I dont want to sound like I dont know anything about the position.

Post Deployment Support Tech

should be on the 3 - 4 years side of this description and have worked with large quantities of PC refreshes. Various Hours: Weekdays (between 6 a.m. - 6 p.m.) depending on migration deployment schedule. It is also possible that the schedule could include weekends. This role will work directly with the customers the first 2 days following the migration of the customer machine to Windows 7, will meet with each customer to ensure customer fully completes their 1st day checklist and record any problems or issues for each customer and troubleshoot issues for resolution with an escalation matrix for how types of issues should be resolved. This role would also perform hard drive wipes as time permits of customers old PC for PCs that require hardware replacement and inventory of old PCs for removal from the site.

Maintains, analyzes, troubleshoots, and repairs computer systems, hardware and computer peripherals. Documents, maintains, upgrades or replaces hardware and software systems. Supports and maintains user account information including rights, security and systems groups. Trains employees, identifies, analyzes, and repairs product failures, orders and replaces parts as needed. Determines and recommends which products or services best fit the customers' needs. May require an associate's degree or its equivalent. Requires at least 2 - 4 years of experience in the field or in a related area. Familiar with a variety of the field's concepts, practices, and procedures. Relies on experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals. Performs a variety of complicated tasks.

From the description it just sounds like you'd be the one to help the client(s) after they're moved to a new operating system with any issues that might arise. In the event that their existing equipment won't work with Windows 7, you need to wipe and then inventory/manage the obsolete hardware. You basically are the one who deals with the aftermath of the OS deployment/installation.

Thanks Davo. Thats seems very straight forward. I have no experience with OS deployment which I was worrying if that experience was needed. I know how to reinstall operating systems one by one but I doubt that even counts lol

    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
    • I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.
    • M$ can bring whatever the hell it wants, and then guess what's not installed in my Mac.
