An IT support interview using fictional tickets
Fictional tickets can show how a candidate gathers information, prioritises and communicates.
Define the requirement
Fictional tickets can show how a candidate gathers information, prioritises and communicates. Avoid asking them to access live systems during an interview without a defined authorised assessment. Assess their reasoning and recognition of limits, not only technical vocabulary.
Put it into practice
Give a small set of incidents with different business impact. Ask which they would address first and what they would ask the user. Look for a clear escalation path and a record of actions. Verify specialist skills separately where the role requires them.
