Interview for MIS Officer
-
Also, good luck!
-
MIS is Management Information Systems. It's essentially what I do, though my title is abbreviated to "Systems Manager". It's probably a bit more business focussed and less IT focussed. Just mention in the interview that are you are very interested in how organisations operate and like working with non-IT staff to help them become more efficient and productive.

I can't find the exact meaning on internet

MIS is a pretty loose term. People normally use it, that I have seen, to refer to specifically back office systems like CRM and ERP.
in the 90's the term MIS was commonly an acronym for Managed Information Systems.
Today, I see the acronym used to mean Manager of Information Security.These are two completely different things.
Thanks,.. it help me to figure out now..

Thank you for your reply. I will keep it on my mind during the interview..
I'm sure it will help. -
I think the bigger question is how many retail stores are there. This can help define the scope of the position. If there are only 5 or 10 stores, you're going to be doing a lot more than just managing. By the description it seems like there are more requirements than just an "officer' position.
To me, an 'officer' would sit along the lines of a CIO or VP of Technology. But by the job description it sounds like it's more along the lines of a Systems Manager. -

In general I would agree. CIO is a real title with "officer" in it. I used to have an officer title long ago but it was prefaced with compliance. I was a "code compliance office." So it was clear from the title that I wasn't a corporate offices but a "compliance office".... a gate keeper for quality assurance of code.
MIS Officer is a title that should mean one thing but any title that isn't authentic usually means the farthest thing from.

Most important thing is to remain calm and collected. Remember that you already have a job and there is no need to worry. This is a chance for you to see if this will be something better for you, if it is something that you will be interested in.

I'm not moving there but i get the job, i will be there for one month for Audit TrainingAh, righto. I think I know what you mean.
Training sounds fun.It sounds like it's a fairly standard sys admin role (well, for Australia anyway.IDK about other countries). What do you do in your current role?
Just because your current role doesn't say "Sys Admin" doesn't mean that you don't already do everything on the job description.They might ask for examples of troubleshooting. I was asked about general stuff (I think) for my current job.
As @scottalanmiller said, remain calm and collected.
Who is doing the interview? The actual company or a local (to you) recruiting company?
Have a look at the company website and do a bit of research into the company. like who are they, what do they do, what is the core business, etc...
You may have an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview, in which case, you can ask any questions that you may have. Have a list of them ready as you will most likely forget them during your interview. It also helps you look prepared.
