Junior IT Support Specialist

About the Role

WebFX is seeking an entry-level candidate for our IT Support team! Our ideal candidate is a talented, ambitious beginner looking to kickstart a career in IT. Professional experience is not required, but a strong work ethic and track record of excellence are a must!

Requirements: What We're Looking For

Educational Requirements

• A Bachelor's Degree

  • College seniors are encouraged to apply! We open interviews as early as 12 months before graduation, and if hired, we will hold the job for you until after graduation

• A Cumulative GPA of 3.4 or above

Skills and Experience Requirements:

• Prior working experience (for example: an internship, a part-time job, a summer job, etc)

• Confident verbal and written communication skills

• Exceptional customer service skills

• Ability to translate technical information into simple terms

• Proven ability to succeed as part of a team, as well as to take initiative and work independently

• Classroom or part-time level experience with the latest business office technologies

Location Requirements:

• This role is based fully on-site at our headquarters in Harrisburg, PA. We are seeking candidates who are willing and able to work from this location daily, Monday-Friday.

Qualities and Traits: Who You Are

We are looking to invest in exceptional early-career professionals with a proven track record of excellence and personal initiative, who are looking to kickstart their career at an award-winning agency.

Not sure if this is you? See if the following statements resonate:

• You Set a High Bar For Yourself: You aren’t looking to just check the box; you care about the quality of your work and actively challenge yourself to improve.

   

• You Take Ownership: When you see something that needs to be done, you don’t hope someone else will take care of it; you step up and make it happen.

   

• You Learn Quickly and Aren’t Afraid to Try New Things: You embrace the process of trying, making a mistake, learning from it, and trying again.

   

• You’re Motivated by Goals and Measurable Results: You’re not content to just hope your work is improving; you thrive when you have a goal to work towards, and a plan for how to get there.

   

• You’re a Critical, Creative, and Analytical Thinker: You don’t just take things at face value; you’re curious about how things work, how they could be improved, and what new solutions might be worth trying.

   

• You’re Looking for a Career, not Just a Job: You’re not looking to just clock in, do busywork, and clock out; you’re excited about becoming an expert, taking on new and interesting challenges, and watching yourself climb towards your goals

What We Don't Require:

A Specific Major: We believe there’s no one “right” major for this career, and the diversity of majors across our team proves that - if you’ve found a passion for the field, then don’t worry if your college major doesn’t “match” on paper.

A Set Number of Years of Experience: We hire for potential and for soft skills, not for pre-existing professional experience.
