Can a first semester IT programming student be a computer operator?

Cause it seems like you don't need that much experience but I could be mistaken. Just looking for something with computers that I could do. Anyone know?

Can a first semester IT programming student be a computer operator?
Entry level computer operators are usually people new to the field and IT students are usually particularly well suited for the task - they have a vested interest.





Although the "computer operator" title is very much mainframe-centric. IT departments that employ UNIX, MS Win, Apple, Linux etc. as the computing platform to run their business applications most often do not refer to their admins as "computer operators".





BTW, mainframes are very much still in use only you'll probably have a hard time distinguishing some from other server hardware.
Reply:You could definitely be a computer operator; the question is whether you could be a good one. The entry level jobs for computers are operations and data entry. Data Entry is the easier of the two, but you could advance further from an operations job.

Well a COMPUTER OPERATOR , basically depends on the company you are working with at the moment , thats just a title wish can be use for a number of things. Now REGULAR computer operator usually is a person just working with either data entry or sometimes computer work related. Now a programmer is someone who learns how to RE-program other programs , program more code for an existing software or creates a software depending on the needs they ask him or her
Reply:Everyone who reads your question is operating a computer, so they're ALL qualified to be a 'computer operator'. So a first year IT student qualifies.


I don't know what job duties a 'computer operator' might have, but basically, look for jobs that use a computer in a way you already know how to do.





Data Entry as a job only requires typing skill.


Programming requires a lot more knowledge and experience.
