Laptop Support Technician
Laptop Support technicians perform a varied set of tasks. Primarily, we support the recommended software on campus, which includes installing the software on our customer’s laptops. The software technicians also run virus and malware checks. Before we work on a customer’s computer, we insist that all their data be backed-up; therefore, we also assist customers with backing up their data if required. If the computer is found to have hardware issues, the software technicians also run diagnostics on the recommended computers. Typically the only hardware work in this job would be to exchange hard drives. In this position, the software technician works closely with the customer, so we require our employees to have excellent customer service skills. During the summer, this position is also required to assist in the laptop workshops.

“I wanted a stronger background in computing, so IT [information technology] at Clemson is a good place to dip my toes into the water. I also like being able to work with my friends and helping people on the phone here.
