Interview

You will be asked basic Windows technical questions, basic application questions (ie. Office apps) and VPN connectivity questions.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Medtronic (Columbia Heights, Anoka, MN) in Mar 2011
Interview
I was recruited for this position by a contract staffing firm. The interview was with two supervisors and the helpdesk's trainer on a conference call. While I didn't go into the office for an in-person interview I had a good perception of the team when I spoke with them over the phone. They were pleasant, to the point and were very eager to find and bring on job candidates quickly. I was hired solely on the phone interview.
Aptitude and skill/knowledge questions about VPN connectivity, general Ethernet connectivity, printer troubleshooting, Windows 7 and Windows XP use and general PC troubleshooting.
