Computer and Office Machine Service Technicians

Most service technicians have unpredictable work schedules. Some weeks are quiet and may require fewer work hours. However, during a major computer problem or, worse yet, a breakdown, technicians are required to work around the clock to fix the problem as quickly as possible. Technicians spend a considerable amount of time on call, and must carry a cell phone in case of work emergencies.

Travel is an integral part of the job for many service technicians, many times amounting to 80 percent of the job time.
