3. Brush up on networking basics: Review IP addressing, DNS, DHCP, and LAN/WAN concepts. Be ready to explain them simply, as you'll need to assist staff with connectivity issues.
4. Show your programming side: Even if it's just a small Python script or a simple website, bring examples. It demonstrates you can code and are ready to support software development tasks.
5. Emphasize soft skills: As a trainee, you'll interact with many people. Highlight your communication skills, patience, and ability to explain technical things to non-technical staff.
6. Research the company: Learn about CDL Human Resource's services and how ICT supports their operations. Mention specific ways you could contribute to their technology projects.
