    The test will be course specific but most ones I've ever seen for that type of role ask some very basic questions, often about obsolete technologies at that and sometimes the answers are wrong. A lot of it is about checking your English comprehension skills more than anything else; and that you know the right end of a mouse from the wrong end basically.

    Yes and probably - although you may have to start on the ground floor in IT even with it. It will help a CV get read definitely

    Also get a driving licence if you don't have one - there are firms so desperate they will pay 10k+ more for field than desk now as young lads stopped learning to drive in the crash and the supply has dried up. Field used to be worse paid
