About This Series
Practice the exact scenarios and questions from real IT Support L1-L2 interviews. Phone screen, STAR behavioral, hands-on troubleshooting, multi-ticket triage, and a live crisis where everything breaks at once. Each round covers the questions asked in 80%+ of Help Desk and Desktop Support interviews. Diagnose slow computers, fix network outages, clear stuck print queues, defend your triage calls, and handle a cascading clinic emergency as the only IT person on site.
You're applying for IT Support, Help Desk, or Desktop Support roles (Level 1-2)
You want to practice the 3 troubleshooting scenarios asked in 80%+ of interviews
You're interviewing at a health, community, government, or non-profit organisation
You freeze up when asked "how do you prioritise multiple urgent tickets?"
Come back later if
You've never used a ticketing system or supported end users in any capacity
You don't know what DNS, DHCP, or Active Directory are yet (study first, then practice)
You're targeting senior sysadmin, network engineer, or DevOps roles -- this is L1-L2 scope
We'd rather you come back ready than pay today and feel it was wasted.
Your Interview Roadmap
Each round mirrors the exact stage you will face. Master them in order, or jump to the one that keeps you up at night.

Why not just use ChatGPT?
1
ChatGPT is a general-purpose AI. It doesn't know GEGAC's interview rubric, scoring dimensions, or what a real GEGAC IT Support Officer panel probes for. This series is tailor-made for this role: every question, follow-up, and scoring weight is calibrated to how GEGAC actually evaluates candidates.
2
ChatGPT can't tell you that you said "um" 11 times per minute, hedged 4 times in one answer, or that your pacing dropped when asked about trade-offs. Your report includes speech analytics, weighted rubric scores, and moment-linked coaching that a text chatbot structurally cannot produce.
