Qualities of the Best IT Professionals

September 15, 2021

When companies recruit IT staff, they’re not just looking for people who check off the boxes on the list of required technical skills. The qualities of the best IT professionals are well-rounded individuals with key skills in communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.

The below qualities are what set apart the top IT professionals from the rest of the crowd.

Wide Net of Technical Knowledge

Besides the required set of knowledge for their job, an IT professional benefits from a great knowledge of related technologies.

Having an interest in web and mobile app development may not directly impact a career in network administration. But this interest does contribute to your general understanding of computer science and can give you valuable perspective in your role.

Always Curious

Those who are dedicated to learning, growing, and staying curious make the most talented IT professionals.

When facing an obstacle, the best IT professionals are eager to identify the underlying issue and recommend a complete solution rather than settling for a quick, incomplete fix.

Creative Thinker

A creative approach to troubleshooting and problem-solving is one of the most valuable skills an IT worker can bring to the table.

IT workers have to deal with the day-to-day workings of complex information systems. This means they often have to think outside the box and try new approaches until they find something that works.

Strong Communicator

It may be believed that IT personnel are not required to communicate often in their daily work. In reality, communication skills are essential for success in the IT industry.

You need to be able to talk about technical topics with colleagues. You will also need to translate those issues into more accessible language for non-tech-savvy coworkers and customers.

Teamwork Abilities

Jobs in IT often require individuals to collaborate with others in a team environment. Whether you’re a helpdesk technician or a QA analyst, you’ll likely be called upon to work with others on a project.

Willing to Ask for Help

In many IT jobs, a refusal to seek help can lead to huge structural problems or security issues.

An IT worker who understands the importance of their tasks will ask for help rather than put the well-being of their company at risk.
