Entry Level Technical Support Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level technical support job?
Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can troubleshoot basic hardware and software issues, communicate clearly with non-technical users, and stay composed under pressure. A CompTIA A+ certification, a home lab project, or a helpdesk internship gives you a concrete edge. Tailor your resume to highlight any hands-on experience, even from coursework or volunteer IT work, and practice explaining technical problems in plain language.
Which companies hire entry level technical supports?
Companies hiring entry level technical supports right now include Cengage, Verkada, and Collabera, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a wide range of employers, from large enterprise technology firms and managed service providers to healthcare systems and financial services companies building out their helpdesk teams.
Are there remote entry level technical support jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by role and employer. About 38% of entry level technical support openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with fully remote positions most common at larger technology companies and managed service providers. On-site roles still dominate in healthcare and local government, where technicians need to be physically present to support hardware and end users.
Are these new grad technical support jobs?
Yes. Many of the openings listed here are new grad roles that explicitly welcome candidates with zero to two years of experience, recent graduates, and junior applicants changing into a technology career. A new grad posting typically accepts internship experience, a relevant certification like CompTIA A+, or a portfolio of self-directed projects in place of full-time work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level technical supports?
Entry Level technical support roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Manufacturing, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors tend to drive the highest volume of entry level hiring because they maintain large internal user bases, customer-facing technology products, or compliance-driven IT environments that need consistent helpdesk coverage.
