Computer Operations
Computer Operators
Because computer operators work with other office staff, they should be cooperative and
able to work as a part of a team. They should have good communication skills and pay
close attention to details. They must be willing to change with the needs of the work
environment or take additional responsibilities.
Since computer operations is such a general field and only requires general office
skills – computer operators who exhibit strong communication, interpersonal, and
analytical skills will soon be promoted to supervisory positions. For many people, a job
as a typist, word processor, or data entry is their first job after graduating from high
school or after a period of full-time family responsibilities, serving as a steppingstone to
higher paying jobs, such as receptionist, secretarial, or administrative assistance.
Nature of the Work
The duties of computer operators are too varied and diverse for them to be classified in
any specific administrative support occupation. Rather than performing a single
specialized task, the duties change with the needs of their employer. General Office
Clerk’s duties include filing or typing, operating photocopiers, fax machines, or other
office equipment; prepare mailings; proofread copy; and answer telephones and deliver messages.
Duties vary significantly depending upon the office they work and title they hold. Secretaries use computers to run spreadsheet, word processing,
database management, and desktop publishing programs. The information that many of today’s organizations need to process is growing. Typist,
word processors, and data entry personnel help insure this work is handled smoothly and efficiently.
Typist and word processors usually set up and enter reports, letters, mailing labels, and other text material. Typist make neat, typed copies of
materials written by other clerical, professional, or managerial workers. As they gain experience, they may begin work requiring a higher degree of
accuracy an independent judgement, thereby, increasing responsibility, wages, and status.
Employment
Most computer operations jobs are entry-level administrative support positions, although no previous office or business experience may be
necessary, employers usually require a high school diploma, typing, and basic computer skills. Familiarity with computer word processing software
and applications is becoming increasingly important. Most employers will substitute experience with education, motivation, and good communication
and organization skills.
