Has the IT Dept maintained that standard?<br />Cross-training: will you be required to learn different systems? If not, will you be ALLOWED to do so?<br />When are scheduled maintenance windows? How long are they? What are the impacts, if any to systems in other time zones (if applicable)?<br />Are you replacing someone, or is this a new position? If you are replacing someone, why did the other person leave the position? If it is a new position, what is your role and what are the expectations for the position?<br /><br />Those questions, depending on how they are answered, can eat up a good 30-45 minutes or more.Response by SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 5 at 2017 9:15 AM2017-06-05T09:15:18-04:002017-06-05T09:15:18-04:002017-06-04T11:36:01-04:00
