Employers
Many top computer companies are located throughout the United States, and with them come a number of employment opportunities. Some computer hardware powerhouses include Apple, Dell, and HP Inc. Many mid- to small-sized companies may not have the need for a specific department devoted to computer setup. In such situations, other computer professionals may be assigned setup duties besides their regular job descriptions.
A number of jobs may also be found with smaller companies that contract their services to retail stores or offer them directly to the public. Services may include hardware and software installation, upgrading, and repair.
Starting Out
Most positions in systems setup are considered entry level. Those new to the field with little experience may get their start through networking with working computer professionals for potential employment opportunities. Companies advertise job openings for systems setup professionals in the careers section of their Web sites. Job listings are also found through online employment sites such as Monster, Indeed, and SimplyHired, as well as through school career services offices.
