If you were trying to recruit an Information Systems Officer, as per  this job spec, what questions would you want to ask them in a technical interview?

Just, you know, wondering, out of curiosity, like.

I have to say that if I were you, I'd apply for it because I think you've got what they are looking for.

Ta. :-) I've got an interview on Thursday, hence the question about what they might be likely to ask...

What you're saying about what they're expecting sounds plausible -- and fortunately I didn't lie on my application, so hopefully I should be okay! (Touch wood)

Not lying is a really good idea, and you'd be amazed how many people applying for computer jobs forget that. They think they'll be able to dazzle with buzzwords to cover their ignorance. "I'm willing and able to learn stuff I don't know" is more impressive than "when I said I could program in Perl, I meant I installed it on my PC yesterday".

Good luck. I always feel ambiguous about saying that because it's not down to luck, is it? If there's any justice you ought to get the job. That's better.

it's not down to luck

Nah, it's largely down to luck, because I have no idea what the other candidates are like. There are gazillions of people who could do the job better than me; 'luck' is whether or not they're applying for it. 8-)
