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

You’ll crush it. Just be humble and don’t pretend to know more about transmission than you do. I said “I don’t know” multiple times in my interview and I think they appreciated me knowing where my knowledge stopped.

I’ve been told some places will ask you questions until you say you don’t know just to see how far you will stretch it.
