A technician applies practical understanding to a range of career fields. If you are interviewing for this job, expect behavioural, scenario-based and technical questions. The hiring manager will also assess whether you have relevant abilities, such as problem-solving, communication, leadership and teamwork.
Here are three top technician interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
How to answer: A hiring manager asks this question to gauge your technical expertise and problem-solving skills. Use the STAR method to talk about a situation, task, action and a result that addresses this question. For example, suppose you are a field service technician. In that case, you can talk about maintaining equipment, handling a specific malfunction, spotting a product solution and contributing to a structural improvement in a product design.
How to answer: Demonstrate that you have relevant soft skills by describing those that suit job duties, such as attention to detail, accuracy and problem-solving abilities. For example, if you are a computer technician, talk about how your attention to detail improves the maintenance work you perform on information technology systems.
How to answer: The hiring manager asks this question to evaluate your professional skills in maintaining current industry knowledge. Discuss the techniques you use to stay updated about industry information, such as reviewing industry news, reading peer-reviewed journals in your field and participating in relevant professional events.
