do u know everything u could possibly know about doing the computer technician job. that's step 1. get all your A+, MSCE test questions, default page file size for a Win7, undocumented commands in shell, random trivia, etc. etc.

step 2. ask them about the job. some superficial, expected hours/shift, oncall, overtime. and some indepth (but be careful not to dig too deep) how big is the dept? how big is your IT support team? specific goal targets for your team? what kind of support ticket system? what's expected turnaround? that'll get into a meaningful discussion that'll let you and the interviewer get a much better feel

step 3. prove to them that you're better than the next guy. know MORE than just IT. show them you know the bigger picture. what's the bigger picture? downtime=$ profit loss. planning and preparedness > fixing after it's broken. keeping up on current IT trends in hardware, security, antivirus, network tools, etc etc etc.

step 4. prep it all and get a good night sleep and go there early! plan on showing up 15minutes early. if u are early, fine, just wait around. if something happens, at least u won't be late.

best of luck!
