Job Requirements
Computer information system managers work in office settings and can be expected to work beyond the normal 40-hour work week. If a deadline is close or a problem occurs, the computer information systems manager might have to work on weekends or during the evening. According to the BLS, about one-third of computer information systems managers worked more than 40 hours a week in 2012 (www.bls.gov).
Additionally, a computer information systems manager should have excellent communication skills. Clients, managers and co-workers who don't have technical expertise often ask computer information systems managers for help with computer problems. They should be able to explain problems and offer solutions in a way that someone without training could understand.
