Your Career Choice: IT TECHNICIAN

1. What will you do in this occupation? (Summarize the duties and day-to-day activities in this job.)

I am more on teaching my staff to do our daily duties specially in

Installing, configuring, maintaining software and hardware components of
computer and network systems. And also helping them to improve their
skills in this field. We are also seeking an experienced in IT Help Desk
Technician to support and troubleshoot day-to-day technology issues of our
customers, including but not limited to desktop applications, custom
applications, and computer hardware.

2. What are my interests and skills that could be useful in the occupation and career that you have
chosen?

As an IT TECHNICIAN, I am more interested in working with the same career, for

me to developed my skills and to showcase my skills too, I also often have to
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.

3. What is the salary or salary range for this position?

An entry-level Information Technology Specialist with less than 1 year experience

can expect to earn an average total compensation (includes tips, bonus, and
overtime pay) of ₱200,000 a month.
4. What are the types of training needed for the position?

In my job search, I keep an eye out for similar titles like help desk technician,
desktop support technician, IT specialist, help desk analyst, or IT associate.
Though roles might vary slightly, much of the skill set and expectations can be
similar. For example, work as an IT specialist or help desk analyst might involve
more resolving user issues and less hands-on technical work. But I still be
expected to know your way around basic networking, troubleshooting, and
security issues.

5. How much education or training is needed for the position?

If you have the time and resources to go back to school, it can be worth
considering earning an associate or bachelor’s degree. Not every IT technician
position will ask for a degree, but having one can certainly position you to be
more competitive.

6. What courses could help you prepare for this career?

Try to concentrate your studies in computer science, information technology, or a

related
\ discipline. Look for coursework where you’ll get acquainted with
hardware, software, networking, and security basics. These might have titles such
as:
 Cybersecurity Essentials

 Routing and Switching Essentials

 Computer Hardware and Software

 Scaling Networks

 Microsoft Server Essentials
