Health And Safety
It is very important that you are aware of the health and safety rules before going in to any job I will list a couple that are very important.
The most important health and safety rule is to stop the electricity running into the computer before you touch any of the components that are inside, this can lead to electric shocks if not done correctly. Removing jewelry things like watches and ring can conduct electricity and also can get caught on components inside the computer and potentially damage them.

Working attitude is a big thing towards being an IT Technician because if you do not have a passion for the job then you will get sick and bored of it fast and you will not like doing it and that is not a good attitude to have towards your job.
