3. What does it take to become a technician?
To become a skilled technician, you must meet the following basic requirements:
Good professional knowledge
As a technician, you must be well-trained in the relevant field and have thorough professional knowledge of the field you take on. For example, if you are a computer technician, you need to study at universities majoring in software engineering, computer science, information science, and know about computers.
Technician jobs in various fields also require you to be proficient in the use of computer programs and systems/software commonly used in engineering projects to solve problems when machines malfunction or become damaged to make machinery and equipment operate normally.
Logical and creative thinking skills
The main job is related to engineering, handling, and problem-solving. Thus, you also need to have analytical skills, logical thinking, and creativity to find the cause and the most optimal solution to ensure that machinery and equipment operate normally and that everyone's work and operation process run smoothly.
Proficiency in computers
Being proficient in technical operations on computers, technicians can build many simulation models of complex systems to provide solutions and proposals to solve technical problems quickly. This skill requires you to research and study on your career path and working process. Thus, try to accumulate it.
Accurate and quick calculation skills
You need to have great thinking skills to calculate accurately. Because a small mistake can cause unpredictable consequences. Especially with highly applied technical equipment, the ability to accurately calculate on drawings and plans must be emphasized.
Good teamwork and communication skills
Technicians must practice communicating clearly and skillfully as they must often explain technical terms to customers and people around them into simple and easy-to-understand words for others to grasp.
The nature of the work is relatively complex, involving many different projects and fields. Therefore, technicians do not work independently but need teamwork and good coordination to help the technical work and tasks go smoothly.
Carefulness and meticulousness
Engineering is a job that focuses on many small details, with the profession being design and operation. Thus, a small incident can affect the entire system. Furthermore, the losses from technical errors are huge. That is why you need to be careful during work to limit unnecessary incidents.
Problem-solving skills
Technicians specialize in troubleshooting and are responsible for the operation of machinery and equipment. This requires you to be flexible and bright as a button to promptly detect abnormalities and find the most appropriate solution to the problem to avoid severe and difficult-to-recover consequences.
Ability to keep up with new technology trends
In the era of continuous technological innovation, there are many new management software and techniques being created to optimize and improve work performance. Technicians must regularly update and grasp new things and new trends to serve their work well.
