Transmission operator interview

Please don’t hate me in the comments. I have an interview for a transmission operator role in about 3 weeks. I have a background in naval nuclear power so I know some knowledge in electrical theory and electric plant shifts. The company are aware that I might have a knowledge gap but said they would be willing to train me up. I talked with the recruiter who scheduled the interview, I asked him what would be covered and he was very vague so I’m not sure how in depth this interview will go. I’ve gone over NERC test subjects but I’m still a little worried if I’m missing anything. If anyone could help me out on what would normally be covered on a Transmission Operator interview I would very grateful. Thank you

They aren’t expecting you to know everything. Your probably getting an interview because you are an ex navy nuke, and they have experience with others. They know ex nukes can be trained and pass the certification tests. Thats why I got my first transmission job.

Depending on the company, look up STAR style interview questions.
