Interview Assessment Notes
|
1. Could you introduce yourself and tell us about you? Your current/recent jobs and employers? Previous companies and jobs?
He is currently in Japan on a student visa, having initially moved there to learn Japanese. However, he believes that working in a company environment would provide a better opportunity to improve his language skills. While working in a hotel, he has been able to practice Japanese with the staff and communicate in English with customers, which has significantly enhanced his language proficiency.
He is now actively seeking an IT-related position, preferably in roles such as L1 or L2 IT Support Analyst. He has three to four years of experience in IT support, proximity support, VIP support, and technical reference roles in France. His previous work involved providing technical assistance, troubleshooting IT issues, and supporting VIP users across various industries, including finance and retail. Before moving to Japan, he worked in a similar IT support role for a luxury retail group.
He is highly adaptable and eager to work in an IT support environment in Japan. He acknowledges the challenges of learning Japanese but believes that gaining professional experience in a company setting will help him improve more effectively than classroom learning. He has observed that many professionals from diverse backgrounds have successfully adapted to working in Japan without initially mastering the language, and he is confident that his technical expertise and problem-solving skills will allow him to excel in an IT role. Even if he does not fully understand Japanese instructions, he can effectively analyze incidents and troubleshoot issues, such as resolving computer access problems based on his experience.
2. What skill(s) / experience would you self-describe as strongest or specialist in?
He considers his strongest skills to be communication, learning, troubleshooting, and analytical thinking. He has a strong ability to analyze incidents thoroughly, ensuring that he understands the root cause before making a decision. He takes a methodical approach to problem-solving, carefully assessing the situation to provide efficient and effective solutions.
For example, when receiving a ticket incident in the backlog, he takes the time to analyze the issue in detail before determining the best course of action. His focus is on resolving problems quickly and efficiently while ensuring that the solution is well thought out. His ability to learn quickly and adapt to new environments makes him a valuable asset in IT support and troubleshooting roles.
3. Do you have XXXX (Key Criteria 1)? If so can you tell me more?
He has experience using various software tools in his previous roles, including remote support tools and ticketing systems such as AnyDesk, Zendesk, and ServiceNow. While his experience with some tools was for a short period, he is familiar with their functionalities, especially in ticket management, backlog handling, and task management.
Additionally, he has worked with ITIL practices for about two months, during which he was responsible for knowledge management, process creation, and customer meetings. His role involved ensuring smooth service operations within the company, coordinating between teams, and managing IT support tasks effectively. His adaptability and experience with different IT service management tools allow him to quickly learn and integrate new systems into his workflow.
