NOC interview coming up; tips and suggestions.

Hi everyone! NOC jobs are quite rare in my area and I'm super nervous about this interview. I'm currently at helpdesk and would love to work in a more hands on role. Person in HR said hiring manager would ask questions based on my experience on my resume (not much, I graduated in December. No CCNA, but BS in CS, minor networking). Any tips, suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thank you so much!
