I focus on understanding change management, ticket handling, backup processes, data recovery, monitoring tools, and what’s being tracked. As a junior, they probably don’t expect deep technical knowledge right away. In my experience, being proactive—keeping an eye on things and fixing issues early—is key. Being approachable matters too; stay friendly, be accommodating, and provide clear updates to users. Most of the complex stuff can be found by searching online or following guides.

I’m considering focusing on something that aligns with what most businesses are currently learning. I hope to stand out as the sole IT professional in my area, since the current team member is usually away handling other tasks.

Keeping things simple helps ensure people will reach out with concerns or request solutions rather than engaging in shadow IT. Take progress step by step—you’ll catch up more easily. The smaller scale suggests a full integration could take six months to a year. Offering help during off-hours maintenance would be valuable. You’ll likely absorb more knowledge from one night of troubleshooting than from weeks of regular tickets. Also, feel free to ask questions among colleagues or online communities. Reddit and Spiceworks are useful resources; you’ll probably spend more time searching for error messages and exploring older forums for similar problems.

Also, from what I heard during my CIS internship, many issues turn out to be simple ID10T problems. For those unfamiliar, it means it’s often just about understanding the basics—remember that the end user can sometimes be a bit confused, so stay mindful.
