DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
- Empathy is the ability to understand and care for others' feelings and experiences. Empathy is crucial for the role of a help desk technician because the role is truly one of servicing customers/end-users and the ability to reassure them that their specific problem is understood. When communicating with customers it is paramount to have this quality, otherwise, they leave customers feeling concerned about how seriously their issue is being handled.
- Communication is key while working in a help desk role. Technicians are under obligation to speak with multiple individuals including clients, their fellow team members, and management. A person with lackluster communication will most likely fail at this job. technician's communication style should be clear enough that everyone understands exactly what they mean. They must explain a problem without missing important details. This applies to both written and oral communication. In the absence of clear communication, the possibility of failing a project or getting into trouble with a client is very high.
- Ability to follow processes, procedures, and work instructions to ensure consistent high-quality customer experiences.
