Once your platforms are live, you’ll need people to manage and maintain them. Infrastructure and support specialists ensure that your systems meet your business needs, evaluate existing tech and determine ways to align your infrastructure to support changing requirements. This infrastructure is found across structured cabling, networks, internet connections and a host of platforms that act as the foundation for your digital and IT operations. So, it’s vital that you find the right infrastructure and support talent that enables your organisation to run smoothly and efficiently.

<h4 data-start="150" data-end="205">Flip the Script: Tell Them About Themselves</h4>
This isn&rsquo;t about repeating what the company already knows. It&rsquo;s about using smart, targeted research to shape powerful answers - and show the interviewer exactly why&nbsp;you belong in their team.
Before you walk into the room (or log on to Zoom), make sure you know:
<ul data-start="472" data-end="790">
<li data-start="472" data-end="535">
What the company does (yes, it&rsquo;s basic - but don&rsquo;t skip it)
</li>
<li data-start="536" data-end="584">
Who their customers are, or who they serve
</li>
<li data-start="585" data-end="642">
What challenges or pain points they might be facing
</li>
<li data-start="643" data-end="680">
What their goals and values are
</li>
<li data-start="681" data-end="738">
What they&rsquo;re working on now - and where they&rsquo;re going
</li>
<li data-start="739" data-end="790">
What their plans are for the next 6&ndash;12 months
</li>
</ul>
Armed with this intel, you won&rsquo;t just answer questions - you&rsquo;ll connect the dots between their needs and your experience. You&rsquo;ll show how your background, skills, and mindset align with their mission, culture, and objectives.
Wondering where to find all this? Don&rsquo;t worry - we&rsquo;ve got your back.
At Ocho, your dedicated recruiter is already plugged in. We know the hiring manager, we understand the team, and we can give you insider insight you won&rsquo;t find on Google. So ask us! Use us!
And here&rsquo;s the real game-changer: Don&rsquo;t just show that you understand their challenges - show how you can&nbsp;solve them. Come prepared with examples of times you&rsquo;ve tackled similar problems, improved a process, or delivered real results.
<hr data-start="1512" data-end="1515">
This is how you go from &ldquo;a great candidate&rdquo; to the right hire. And we&rsquo;ll make sure you get there, every step of the way.

<h4 data-start="120" data-end="180">Your Experience Got You Here - Now Let It Work for You</h4>
You didn&rsquo;t come this far just to talk about the next role. You&rsquo;re here because of everything you&rsquo;ve already done - and interviewers want to hear about it.
This is your chance to show how your journey so far makes you the right person for their team.
Talk about your recent achievements. Share the moments you&rsquo;re proud of. Highlight the skills you&rsquo;ve built - and more importantly, how you&rsquo;ve&nbsp;used them to solve problems, drive results, or make a difference.
Whether it's leading a project, improving a process, mentoring a colleague, or adapting to change - that&rsquo;s what sets you apart.
So don&rsquo;t just list responsibilities. Show your impact.
<hr data-start="829" data-end="832">
Own your story. Speak to your value. And let your experience do the heavy lifting. We&rsquo;ll help you frame it in a way that makes interviewers sit up and take notice.

<h4 data-start="140" data-end="178">What&rsquo;s Your Greatest Weakness?</h4>
Ah, the question that makes even the most confident candidates squirm. But here&rsquo;s the truth: it&rsquo;s not a trick - it&rsquo;s a test of self-awareness.
Interviewers aren&rsquo;t expecting perfection. What they do want to see is how honest, reflective, and proactive you are when it comes to your own development.
So no, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a perfectionist&rdquo; won&rsquo;t cut it - it&rsquo;s been said too many times to mean anything.
Instead, choose a genuine weakness that won&rsquo;t impact your ability to succeed in the role. Maybe it&rsquo;s a technical skill outside the scope of the job - but one you're actively working on through courses or projects. Or perhaps it&rsquo;s something more personal, like finding it hard to switch off after work - and you&rsquo;re learning to set better boundaries by using tools that block notifications out of hours.
Whatever you share, the key is to own it. Show that you&rsquo;ve identified the challenge, and more importantly, that you&rsquo;re doing something about it.
<hr data-start="1118" data-end="1121">
We all have weaknesses - what matters is how we face them. So be real. Be reflective. And show that you&rsquo;re committed to growth.

<h3 data-start="147" data-end="197">Your Turn &ndash; Make It a Two-Way Conversation</h3>
An interview isn&rsquo;t just a test - it&rsquo;s a two-way street. Yes, they&rsquo;re assessing your fit for the role, but this is also your opportunity to figure out if the company is right for you.
Asking smart, thoughtful questions shows genuine interest - and gives you another moment to shine. It signals that you&rsquo;re thinking seriously about the opportunity, the culture, and how you&rsquo;ll contribute.
Here are a few questions worth having in your back pocket:
<ul data-start="650" data-end="834">
<li data-start="650" data-end="703">
What does a typical day look like in this team?
</li>
<li data-start="704" data-end="767">
What made you join this company - and what&rsquo;s kept you here?
</li>
<li data-start="768" data-end="834">
Are there any concerns about my experience that I can address?
</li>
</ul>
That last one? Gold. It shows confidence, self-awareness, and a willingness to grow.
<hr data-start="922" data-end="925">
<h3 data-start="927" data-end="971">Be Human. That&rsquo;s Who They&rsquo;re Hiring.</h3>
Beyond the CV, beyond the prep, beyond the polished answers - you&rsquo;re a person. Don&rsquo;t lose that in the process.
Let your personality come through. Share the things that light you up outside of work - whether that&rsquo;s travel, sport, gaming, volunteering, or your latest side project. These details create connection and make you memorable.
The secret? Balance. You&rsquo;re not interviewing as a robot - but you&rsquo;re also not just having a chat with a mate. Blend the professional with the personal in a way that shows who you are, how you work, and why you&rsquo;re a brilliant addition to the team.
