2 . Electric Motor Repairers

Repairing electric motors may not require much more than practice working on the type of motor you want to repair. If you look on the Internet for electronic equipment repairers, not only will you find companies that specialize in such repair, you can find suggestions on teaching yourself how to repair anything from a toaster to a VCR to a computer monitor. If you choose to teach yourself how to repair electronic equipment, please make sure you follow all safety precautions.

Keep in mind that if you take the advice of these websites, you will want to start with equipment that is already going to be thrown out. Chances are, your first few repairs will damage the electronic equipment you are working on. With practice, you will be able to repair the equipment rather than damaging it further. Once you have mastered the skills to be an electronic motor repairer, you will be able to start looking into getting a job in your chosen career field.

To get a job as an electric motor repairer, you will need to show that you have mastered the skills that you need for your chosen career. Fortunately, there are certification tests that you can take to prove your knowledge. You will want to know the basics and look on the Internet for a study guide for the test.

3 . Bench Technicians

As anyone who has worked a technical support line can tell you, a job as a bench technician can require a great deal of patience. You may wind up frustrated when you are repairing the equipment itself, or when you are dealing with the customer. However, in many cases, equipment repair will take a greater portion of your time than dealing with customers.

Bench technicians sometimes work in a retail setting, with the customer bringing their equipment in for repair and doing the work on site. Like any other electronic equipment repairer, bench technicians may work closely with the customer before, during, and after the repair. If the bench technician works for a larger company, good customer service would indicate that he or she should call the customer to clarify any problems listed on the work order.

Since most electronics have gotten inexpensive enough for easy replacement, most bench technician jobs will be working in computer repair. To start a career in computer repair, you will want to get at least two or three certifications in different areas. There are many jobs for bench technicians, once they have their certifications. The salary for this career varies according to how much experience you have and where you live.

4 . Field Technicians

An electronic equipment repairer that repairs equipment on site is called a field technician. Though much of field technicians’ time may involve a great deal of travel, they may also need to become accustomed to doing their work with someone looking over their shoulder. Though many customers will leave the technician to do their work, some will want to watch what is being done.

Field technicians have a number of different types of electronic equipment that they can choose to work on. Not only can you work on computers in a person’s home, you can work on stoves, washing machines, or other appliances also at their home. At a place of business, there are computers, but also fax machines, copiers, printers, and other office equipment.

Depending on what type of equipment you repair as a field technician, you may need to take repair courses through the equipment manufacturer. In many cases, the classes may be free, as long as you agree to work for the company for a set time. These jobs are easier to find in larger cities, as the companies would have more customers in a larger city. The salary for this career will vary according to the type of equipment you are repairing, as well as on your experience at repair and where you live.
