How to prepare for a job interview at IRIS Software Group

✨Know Your SQL Inside Out

Make sure you brush up on your SQL skills before the interview. Be prepared to discuss how you've used SQL in past roles, and maybe even solve a few sample queries. This will show that you’re not just familiar with it, but that you can apply it effectively in a technical support context.

✨Familiarise Yourself with Zendesk

Since you'll be using Zendesk for ticket management, it’s a good idea to get comfortable with its features. If you can, try to navigate through the platform and understand how to triage and resolve tickets. This hands-on experience will give you confidence and help you answer questions about your approach to incident management.

✨Prepare for Customer Scenarios

Think of common customer issues you might encounter and how you would handle them. Practice explaining your thought process clearly and concisely. Remember, the role is all about providing friendly support, so showcasing your communication skills will be key during the interview.

✨Show Your Problem-Solving Skills

Be ready to discuss specific examples where you’ve successfully resolved technical issues. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers. This will help the interviewer see your analytical thinking and how you approach troubleshooting in real-world scenarios.
