I think I landed(almost 100% sure) as a computer technician(its spelled as mechanic though) which I think is supposed to be building/chaining parts/diagnosing(using multimeter is the only thing I can think off right now)/and pretty much cleaning/installing/reinstalling OS.While I my high school specialization was exactly about this I still feel really scared about it considering I never soldered anything(not sure if its even done anymore).I don't know if I missed something so please add it so I try and learn/check if know it already it in the mean time.
TL DR :List things computer technicians need to know

Almost all of these(if not all) can easily be done and googled if needed.I was wondering about more specific stuffs or thats all?Also the employer was talking about installing linux(which I know how to do at least for ubuntu and arch(and all else are easily googable but am still not 100% sure because they feel so unstable sometimes with their drivers).Also I guess soldering is not needed?

It's usually used for USB and DC jack / connector repair. Don't sweat it

Since you probably work as computer technician how does you work time goes like(in the sense what are the most common problems /filling time etc.).I always feel like there is not much to do but I might be wrong of course.
