Hi,
Here are some tips:
Don't talk about any "bad" experiences with customers, or any that made you mad; unless of course, it's a direct questions.
Don't take very long, maybe a minute, to answer specific questions.
There shouldn't be too many technical questions, due to the time allowed for the interview. Maybe some things such as general questions about the specific area.
Do you have a list given to you for consideration by the interviewer or the company? Some companies will email or mail you a list of frequently asked questions, or information in general, about what is covered in an interview.
My son-in-law is a Tech Help supervisor, and they send out this type of information before an interview.

That thread has a few.

It also depends what level your are applying for and what the network configuration is at the location/company where you are applying.

Hi,

I work in a IT Service Desk, In the interview they will ask the normal questions like
what would you bring to the role?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

But Technical Questions
What is the difference between a LAN & WAN?
Read up about ITIL, (This is a infrastructure that the service desk put in place and adhere to, Majority companys die for people with knowledge about this)
If a Printer was broken what would you do/ask?
Have you ever managed an Incident?
How would you communicate with your team members that there is an Incident?

I ahve been working in IT Service Desk Roles for 3 years now and i always get asked these questions.

Hope this helps who ever needs it.
