Hi Everybody,

I have an interview for an entry level mobile phone analyst position in the UK and I am trying to gather information on what I might be asked in the interview? Can anyone please comment if they have any information on what I may be asked or what I should look up before the interview…

Thanks in advance! )

Who is the interview with? Is it a Law Enforcement opportunity or will you be working for a commercial organisation?

They will most likely have differing requirements depending on who the target customer is.

No doubt your technical knowledge will be probed during interview, but I would expect the 'softer' side of your skill set will be tested in different ways depending on who you may end up working for.

The interview is with CCL Forensics.

I have not really covered mobile phone forensics as apart of my degree so I am trying to find out as much as I can to stand the best chance of getting the job.

Generally speaking (and not necessarily applying to your case or to digital forensics), the point is IMHO different.

First thing it greatly depends on what the advertised job requirements are, I mean, if it is for an "entry level", I guess noone expects an "expert", and the second thing is who will actually carry the interview.

IF the guy that carries the interview is a HR (Human Resources), very likely he will have a list of pre-made questions to which you have to answer correctly (and you may be able to *somehow* trick him with correct answers that you quickly learned in a last minute rush).

IF, on the other hand, the interview is carried by someone that is actually a professional in the field, he will manage to ask you questions that you will have no chances to answer correctly unless you have a "solid" and "consolidated" understanding of the procedures and methods (and this is not something that you can learn in a few days).

The advice that I can give you is to review the "general" concepts (more than the specific of a tool over another or studying a "narrow" procedure or two), and as much as you can "be yourself", honestly stating where you have less experience or knowledge, rather than attempting to fill holes (if any) in your studies by "quick learning" something that you won't have the time to "digest" fully.
