Technical interviews for ITI and diploma roles are usually practical. Interviewers want to know whether you can read a drawing, use instruments correctly, work safely and follow instructions. Revise the basics of your own trade rather than memorising long theory.
Expect questions about the tools you have used: vernier, micrometer, torque wrench, multimeter or welding equipment. Be ready to explain how you take a reading, what accuracy you need and what you do when a measurement is out of tolerance.
Safety questions are common. Know the PPE for your work, what lockout-tagout means, how to respond to a minor injury and why housekeeping matters. Employers prefer a candidate who is careful over one who is only fast.
Carry original and photocopied certificates, ID proof, passport photographs and a simple one-page summary of your experience. Arrive early, dress for the workplace and speak clearly about what you did, not what the team did.
If you do not know an answer, say so and explain how you would find out. Honesty builds more trust than guessing. And remember: a genuine employer never asks you to pay for an interview or a job.
Key takeaways
- Revise practical basics of your own trade.
- Know instruments, safety and your past work.
- Carry documents and never pay for a job.
