"works with other IT staff and system administrator(s) to oversee day-to-day computing, server and networking infrastructure;"

Thank you.

It means you work with others to oversee the day to day operations of the network and servers. What part are you not understanding?

Pretty muchly says what it is in the sentence.

Thank you.

In other words, to make sure that the IT provision (eg equipment, including hardware, software and networks) works and any problems (regardless of whether you or someone else works on it) are sorted.

So i'm not going to supervise anyone? right?

Why don't you ask the people who are offering the job? You are sure to get more accurate answers from them than us guessing off of one sentence.

It doesn't say you wont specifically. You'll be in a team environment and you may have to supervise someone occassionally.

Not only will you be responsible for the infrustructure(equipment) but you will most likely deal with day-to-day issues with other staff members and/or users with their IT needs and problems too.

I understand now. Thank you very much. I have an interview today that's why I'm trying to understand what it really means.

Not to be mean but you may be shooting to high if you do not understand that statement. It is very common to see in job requirements.

This is my first time seeing that on a job description.

Really? Most IT jobs that are at a professional level require some sort of oversight of personnel. You may be delegating, leading or teaching it all depends. Most of the time when I see a statement like that I assume I will be doing one or all of the three and maybe even supervising them.

I have never participate in a forum before, but I will definitely be a member of this board. I'll let you guys know how the interview goes.

Best of luck!

James Brown says, "I feel good! Da da da da da da da DA! I knew that I would now!"

I would doubt that you'd be supervising. Sounds like a general "must be able to work in a team environment" statement. Pretty common.

How did the interview go? Did you ask for more clarification?

One of the guys interviewing me ask if i have any supervisory experience that the job doesn't require that.

I did ask the question, and they made it clear that the job doesn't require any supervisory experience. overall, it was a good interview.

next week wednesday or thursday.

When should I do a follow up after an interview? How long do I have to wait before calling?

Normally,

I ask them when would it be 'ok' to call back and follow-up and specify a date (May I call you Tuesday Morning and follow-up with you? Or what time on Tuesday is a good time of day to call you to follow-up?) And a thank you letter/note goes out seconds (or the nearest mailbox) after the interview so they receive it the next business day.

jamesbrown

I already sent the thank you letter, they said I should email them to find out more
