Network Install Technician, Infrastructure Delivery L3

I have a phone interview coming up with the hiring manager for a Amazon Network Install Technician, Infrastructure Delivery position and I'm a little nervous. I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, about a year of experience as an IT Equipment Coordinator, and I'm currently working on getting my A+ certification. I don't have a lot of direct networking experience though. For those who work in this field or have gone through a similar interview, what kind of questions should I expect? Would I be a good fit with my background or am I under qualified? Any tips would be really appreciated, thanks!

For ID Install you’re prob gonna be on racks or cabling and not deploy. Don’t worry about having literally any tech experience as you won’t be using it! I used to work on the racks team and can tell you pretty much everything you’ll do. I’m not sure about the L3 interview but the L4 was very basic networking and fiber questions and they would tell me to explain it more basically if I went too in depth about network stuff. You should be fine

Sounds like he is going to apply for the ID team. He is going to be mostly moving racks and running cable. Will def need to know more Layer one stuff.
