Some help here chaps. I have been asked to attend an interview for this role. I have already had an interview with them, but this was over two years ago. So my recollection of it is very vague.

They have advised me that they will ask me to perform a 'series of tests that need to be completed prior to the interview'. Only then will they proceed with the interview itself.

My question is, as the role is 1st, 2nd and 3rd line based where inbound broadband and telecommunications support will be given, what type of questions will be asked? And what are these series of tests?

This may sound crazy, but rather than asking randoms off the internet, how about asking the company themselves.
I did. Got very minimal out of them.

Nope. Was hoping someone has had some sort of experience with them before. Or even experience of technical questions commonly asked in interviews like these.

Hmmm... I should hopefully be okay. Was just unsure what they ask as it is quite a different role to my current one. I think I have some brushing up to do.

It doesn't help that my current employer has let me go today. No reason given. s.

Congrats! Have a beer

Was the advice useful? Did they ask anything like the stuff we suggested?
They did indeed. Then they gave me 4 short tests in grammar, spelling, mathematics and awareness. All in all I was thankfully well prepared.
