Sample interview questions
How would you prioritize a high volume of internal IT support tickets in a remote organization?

I would assess business impact, security risk, urgency, and the number of affected users. Critical access, security, and company-wide service issues would be addressed first, while I would communicate expected timelines and keep requesters informed through the ITSM platform.

Describe your approach to employee onboarding and offboarding.

I use documented, auditable checklists that coordinate identity creation or removal, device assignment or recovery, application licensing, access reviews, and asset records. For offboarding, I prioritize prompt account deprovisioning, token and credential revocation, data preservation requirements, and a clear chain of custody for returned equipment.

How have you used IAM and SSO to strengthen security and reduce administrative work?

I centralize application access through an identity provider, apply role-based access controls, enforce MFA, and automate provisioning and deprovisioning where possible. Regular access and license audits help identify excessive permissions, inactive accounts, and unnecessary software spend.

What factors would you evaluate when improving endpoint management for a fully remote workforce?

I would evaluate device inventory accuracy, operating-system patch compliance, encryption, EDR coverage, configuration baselines, privilege management, remote support tools, and replacement logistics. I would also establish measurable compliance reporting and clear policies that balance security with employee productivity.

How would you approach an IT infrastructure improvement project from planning through rollout?

I would first define the business problem, stakeholders, scope, risks, technical requirements, and success metrics. After testing the solution in a controlled environment, I would create documentation and communication plans, deploy in phases where possible, monitor adoption and incidents, and use feedback to refine the implementation.
