1. Unit 2 (task 28) In this PowerPoint I will tell you about 7 important IT job roles and if a candidate might want one what he would have to do to get one. Programmer Developer Engineer Tester Analyst These are the roles I shall be talking about. Desktop Support http://www.spring-technology.co.uk/candidate/ IT technician

2. Desktop Support For this job you fix computer problems you also help people with applications like word and excel but a couple of times it might be a job for helping with network support For this qualifications people say you need an MCSE, MCSA, MCP and CCNA but some people don’t I suggest which ever company you go to ask them what qualifications you will need and then if you want the job that badly get them qualifications for it. http://www.esteem.co.uk/services/maintenance/pages/pc- support.aspx?gclid=CI_PzYWg4KsCFUYe4Qod8FJMOg We need desktop Support for several things like fixing or replacing a PC or even restoring your PC maybe they might even have to do some data restoration these are 3 reasons why we need desktop support they kind of like a helping hand for when you fall.

3. Programmer For this type of job you don’t really need loads of qualifications you just need to know computer basics don’t be afraid to find tools to help you don’t be lazy try and make it perfect as much as you can also be humble and explore different types of coding your not familiar with. A programmer does loads of things from the internet to iphones it can create app’s games and also tools e.g. paint A programmer is many things and the learning doesn’t stop there as you programme more and more little do you know it but your learning more each time and your getting familiar with other coding and tools. A programmer is an important job as it works on programs to work on or use e.g. PowerPoint or Microsoft Word and even programs for game designers to use to create there own games and even on consoles which contain the games and uses the programs to play the game This information is from my own knowledge As I've asked one of the IT technicians and took in what they told me

4. Developer For the qualifications of a software developer they mostly just have A* which would make you want to quit and work for them for themselves to get into a better job or as a higher rank in the job A software developer writes instructions for your computer or other devices so that when you bring up a programme it uses that programme correctly and also if you was to change anything in that programme it would behave and modify it to what the user does. For loads of reasons also most software designers do even go to higher education to make more qualifications for better job or as a higher rank in the job

5. Software Tester The traits of a software tester -Creativity -Curiosity -Being able to find faults -Working hard to facilities laziness What a software tester does is to try out new software and see if its ok to be released like windows 7 for example they would have had 100s of software testers on it to make sure there were no bugs faults. A software tester is important as if we were not to have software testers we wouldn’t be able to find bugs ‘glitches’ and even other things from bugs to faults The software testers are a brilliant team as they spot not just a couple but they spot more than 1 million bugs a year most of that million can come from one bit of software Here for this information source: Questionnaire I used a questionnaire or some software testers to see how they thought of the job there selves

6. System Analyst http://www.systemsanalyst.com/what-does-a- systems-analyst-do/ A system Analyst does some following tasks : They interact with some clients/customers to know their requirements. The system analyst interacts with designers to know what problems there may be for the software. They also guide the coders and developers to keep track of the system progress. System analyst also become testers of some certain software and help other testers then write a review on what they found was a problem and what they liked. They also prepare high quality documentation. A System analyst is a important role as they work for business releasing data in a certain place also they store data and transform data http://www.prenhall.com/behindthebook/0132240858/pdf/Kendall_Feature1_Why_We_W rote_This_Book.pdf I used the top bit of this website to improvise with this

7. Computer Systems Engineer This job is to understand computer technology they are involved from hardware to software. The jobs for this area are expanding, they control systems and networks, but the progress in design and manufacture has reduced cost’s which has given it more available computing power. In 2006 a Computer Systems Engineer needed a four year degree in college They suspect that it will be the fastest growing job from 2006-2016 so in the 10 years apart they reckon that majority people will want to do some more stuff with computers than a normal job but with the education growing and foreigners coming in they are taking the jobs so more people are likely not to get a job A system engineering is as one of the engineers I asked said like gives birth to missions turning an initial idea to a full system description using all the necessary elements. An system engineer gives future missions their support. http://www.esa.int/esaMI/Space_Engineering/S EM43YUHYXF_0.html

8. IT technician A computer technician does all sorts of stuff from taking control of what you can and cant view on the internet to fixing a computer They also manage what is okay to send through emails its like a source so every email you send goes there for them to check that its appropriate and if it is then they send it to the receiver's email but if its not it gets deleted and sorted with. An IT technician need an A+ on a six week course to apply for a job as one. Without an IT technician it would be impossible for a school to get an IT lesson without people going on games and facebook so it will just distract them and the work will not be completed

9. It Technician Questions I asked: What websites do you Filter We only filter sites which will distract children from there learning and cause them not to do there work What do you find interesting about your job The thing I find interesting is that you get to communicate with the students and your not always sat around doing nothing there’s always a pc to fix or a password to change What education did you need to apply for a job like this one Well to start with you need to GCSE IT which will give you the BTECH qualification and this is one part of the diploma you need if you were to go to Petroc and do IT as a subject you will receive the qualifications I have and could be an IT technician
