When you hear the term IT what do you think of? Tech-geeks holed up in windowless rooms, talking in coded language?
Get out of here! The world of IT is constantly rebooting and such stereotypes have long been deleted.
Technology is a huge and vital part of just about every industry today, from property to production.
So, if you’re ready to hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and restart in the IT sector, let s1jobs guide you through the top qualities all tech gurus must have to code themselves a vibrant new career.
Learn languages
Top techies are bilingual by nature with the best IT professionals fluent in both tech talk and real talk.
It’s all about being able to translate complex IT jargon into bite-size, understandable sentences even the most tech-phobic among clients can understand.
With many businesses eager to see how IT is benefitting them in practical terms, being able to bridge this gap and unscramble the jargon is a real talent.
Share yourself
As an IT professional, you’ll be expected to liaise with and support colleagues in every other department, often as their first port-of-call when glitches arise.
While you don’t have to be a social butterfly, effective communication and teamworking will stand you in good stead.
A willingness to share your expertise can also be beneficial, helping you to forge a strong personal and professional reputation.
You may even help colleagues figure out their own IT solutions. Ask them if they’ve tried turning it off and on again.
Work smarter, not harder
For an industry synonymous with cold codes and computers, IT is surprisingly creative. It relies on individuals who are able to think outside of the box.
The artistic ability to reframe and tackle often complex problems is a must. Top IT gurus are innovative, and constantly seeking ways to find new approaches to tech-related issues. It must always be a case of: challenge accepted.
Be thirsty for knowledge
Anyone who’s ever used a piece of tech in any guise knows almost as soon as one system is launched there’s another being developed, ready to take centre stage.
While it can be hard to keep up (does anyone know which version of the iPhone we’re on now?) the cream of the IT crop constantly look at new developments in the tech-world – and ways they can enhance their own performance.
