Finding Work

Use interview notes to improve your next IT support trainee application

Added to the archive on 15 November 2026.

Capture questions and useful details while they are fresh.

After the interview, write down two questions that were harder than expected and one responsibility you learned more about. For a role in service desk, the employer may have explained how the team handles device issues and ticket status. Note the words they used so you can recognise a similar requirement in other adverts.

Retell one answer

Choose one question and write a more specific response with an example. If the answer requires a practical skill, set a short session to write clear reproduction steps for a sample sign-in issue. Keep the notes private and separate from any employer materials you were asked to return. Review the notes before your next interview.
