Interview question

NoseyMike2010

I am about to go for an engineering interview for a position as an electrical engineer. I have been told that there will be a written test. What should I study? What are the mail topics that should be covered for electrical theory type questions.

I don't know anything about engineering, but what I do know is it's no harm to ring up the company and enquire about it provided you treat this as a 'pre-interview'. Plan your phone call a little and don't be construed as trying to get 'inside knowledge' about the test or
'canvassing'. Companies should be up-front and helpful as regards what the test will entail. That's been my experience.

it is through am agency!

Then who's administering the test? The agency or company on whose behalf they're screening you?

If it's the company testing, the agency should properly inform you. If it's the agency's screening procedures, then I guess you just have to swot up!

The agency, if they're worth their salt, should be able to tell you exactly what to expect from the test as they'll have had candidates who've done it before.

Don't be afraid to ask them, it's in their interests to see you hired.

If there were any specific areas on the job spec that they wanted a candidate to have experience in would be a good to have a look over.
Also any areas that you said you have experience in would be good to look over.
