Computer Operators control and monitor the processing of work through large, mainframe computers. They often work shifts, including nights.
Usually, organizations that have to process a large volume of information use mainframe computers, for example, banks and the police.
If a fault occurs, operators have to find the problem and either fix it or call in someone from the supplier of the computer equipment.
Older computer systems need the operator to type in commands at several stages.
For this job these are the general characteristics you need:
· Have good communication skills to explain problems clearly.
· Be patient and able to pay good attention to detail, when making routine checks on the system.
· Keep accurate written records.
These qualities are particularly important if you want to be a computer operator
· Have an analytical mind and good problem-solving skills.
· Keep information secure and confidential.
· You will also need to be able to:
· Work logically and methodically, and follow set procedures.
· Think quickly and cope well with pressure.
· Use your initiative.
· Work both on your own and in a team.
I believe for this job these skills are the most important;
You need to have a good communication and problem-solving skills, I.T skills, to be patient and methodical, and to be able to pay good attention to detail.
Also for this job, it’s essential to be responsible for controlling or adjusting equipment, and also to be good at using a computer. However you do not to be good at planning how much work is being carried out, or understanding how machinery or equipment works and you won’t be using the telephone or two way radio.
For this job it’s important to be able to explain your ideas and information to people. To be accurate and good at paying attention to details also to be good at following set procedures. Solving problems is important and keeping accurate records or reports is needed. Teamwork is used a lot when building ideas. Although it’s likely that you will be working evenings and weekends.
