Careers in IT

C



Dawned by the world of advanced information technology and digitalization, more careers in such field have blossomed.

Webmaster is said to be a technician who designs and maintains a website. Other terms that have been used to address such technician include a web architect, web developer, site author, website administrator, and webmeister.  

A computer support specialist is one who specializes in helping people with their computer problems. Computer support positions normally require strong analytical thinking and problem- solving abilities in order to be able to tackle multiple problems regarding computers.

A technical writer, also sometimes referred to as a technical communicator, is a professional writer who designs, writes, creates, maintains, and updates technical documentation such as online help, user guides and system manuals. 

Software engineer designs and programs system-level software, such as operating systems, database management systems (DBMSs) and embedded systems. "Systems programmer" and "systems engineer" are also synonymous to the term of software engineer.

Network administrator, as the title imples, manages a local area communications network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) for an organization. This person will be responsible for the network security, installing new hardware and applications and monitoring software upgrades.

Other than the network administrator, there is also the data administrator. A data administrator is someone who coordinates activities within the data administration department. Such individual is also known as a database analyst since he or she works to design and manage one or more databases and to evaluate, select and implement database management systems.

For a system analyst, his or her job typically begins with determining the intended purpose of the computers. As a system analyst is the person who selects and configures computer systems for an organization or business, he or she must understand the general objectives of the business, as well as what each individual user's job requires. 

A programmer can be a person who writes computer programs or programs a device especially a computer. A programmer also writes or debugs computer programs either for a living or for fun.

All in all, the common ground for the careers above is that they are all involved in computer science; the branch of engineering science that studies computable processes and structures with the aid of computers.
