Skills Needed
Problem-solving: IT Technicians often must interpret a problem and determine the best way to resolve it. This requires the use of critical thinking, as the IT Tech may need additional information that isn’t provided in order to satisfy the customer or employee.
Patience: IT Technicians work closely with their customers. Patience is necessary for this field. Often the clients don’t understand what is happening with their system and may not describe it properly. Patience will benefit the IT Tech in understanding the problem and working toward a solution.
Communication: Communicating with clients, supervisors, and staff helps everyone to understand the problem and potential solutions. Clearly stating the situation, following through with emails and phone calls, and sharing resolutions will make the process flow smoothly.
Humble: A humble leader who exhibits a collaborative mindset with a willingness to learn from others, freely shares credit and celebrates team accomplishments, while aligning individual efforts with overarching team and organizational goals.
Hungry: A self-motivated professional who is intrinsically driven to continuously improve IT service delivery, proactively identifies innovative solutions to drive operational efficiency, passionately aligns technology strategy with business growth objectives, and eagerly explores emerging trends that can provide a competitive advantage.
Smart: An emotionally intelligent leader who demonstrates strong interpersonal awareness, skillfully navigates group dynamics to build consensus among stakeholders, exercises sound judgment by asking insightful questions and actively listening and can effectively influence and partner with business leaders.
Endurance: Because IT Technicians can work long hours with complicated projects, the ability to stay focused on the objective is key. IT Techs may also be involved in the relocation of servers, hardware, and peripherals that are important to the operation of the business.
