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

    • I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
    • The Radeon RX 9070 XT is right up there with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
    • I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.
