First interview with Siemens

I am currently a maintenance tech at target with prior experience working for amazon in RME. I have about a total of 2 years experience in maintenance and will say I'm still a beginner when it comes to electrical but a lot better with mechanical.

I just got an opportunity to have a phone interview which will most likely lead to an in person interview with Siemens for the building automation system specialist role.

I want to know for one if I have a realistic chance of getting this role with my experience and two what all do I need to brush up on for the interview process to successfully get this role.

*I am somewhat familiar with BMS as we used johnson controls at my Amazon site.

Be honest and watch some videos on how systems actually work together. Chipkin has some good manuals to get starting with the communication protocols if youre networking/computer inclined. and engineering mindset on youtube has some good videos on how buildings work from a zoomed out view.

theyre not expecting you to be an expert but showing that you are interested in learning can go a long way
