## Meeting the Requirements:
1. **Tech Support Experience**: You have 6+ years of tech support experience, which meets the job requirement.
2. **Technical Skills**: You are proficient in Windows and have knowledge of Mac, but may need to brush up on Windows Server.
3. **Certifications**: Network+ cert and in-progress CCNA demonstrate your understanding of networking terms.
4. **Problem-Solving Skills**: You excel in problem-solving, communication, and customer support, which are crucial for the role.
## Addressing Concerns:

Just letting you know, that’s a novel and ain’t nobody reading all that.
But from the title, if you’ve made it to the interview, they think you’re qualified. Fake it till you make it. Don’t be afraid to say “I’m not sure I’d Google it”
I honestly think that unless you start studying like – now – you won’t get this role.
This sounds like a generic sysadmin role. All of this can be homelabbed for the most part- more than you would think.
>and then I don’t know and I’m just there googling.
Buddy that’s all of us, like all the time.
There is a possibility you could get this role. Most of getting hired is willingness to learn and likability. People will spend a majority of their week with you and if you aren’t insufferable and take responsibility for your mistakes you are better than a lot of others.
