July 23, 2010, Newsletter Issue #50: Top IT Talent Fight Growing Job Market Competition By Updating Skills

Tip of the Week

Companies today, as a whole, are more customer focused these days. That is because they understand that to remain profitable, it is essential that they retain their client base. In an effort to support this initiative, business executives want to ensure that all of their support staff are well trained and highly skilled.

As such, they are looking to hire top IT talent for their support center and IT helpdesk jobs. One thing these organizations are quickly realizing however is that achieving excellence in service and support requires more than just technical training. To be truly effective in an IT helpdesk job role, tech pros need strong “soft skills”. They need to have solid communication, problem solving, analytical and process management skills. While some of these abilities are innate, IT professionals can hone these talents by enrolling in an IT certification course such as HDI soft skills training. Through this program, students learn communication and listening techniques, proper documentation methods, problem solving and troubleshooting skills, as well as conflict negotiation.
