Dealing with other systems a company many have - mainframes, AS/400's, HP or Sun Unix boxes, proprietary items like funky fax servers, SMS or one of a zillion management packages a company may use, documenting stuff, phone systems in many instances, etc. It ain't all about PC's.
And to that:
Functioning in a corporate environment. Project management. Playing well with others. Office politics. Budgets. Idiot managers.
Some companies make it a requirement that you're familiar with their trade as well.
As I stated above, I work for a trading firm where they put more emphasis on stock market experience and knowledge, rather than IT experience and knowledge. A lot of law firms are the same way.

As the only IT guy for a three location manufacturing company, I manage three Novell servers and 45 PC's from Win 95 through Win XP. Not only am I help desk, admin, network, build the PCs I am also the email and web site developer. <STRONG>And</STRONG> I manage an industrial maintenance department of 6 employees. A man of many hats with 1 paycheck. Around $20.00/hr ($800 per 40 hr week salary but I typically work 50 or more hours to get all that needs to be done, done.) I can't take rejection, so I won't even consider asking for a raise.
ouch going rate for that job in texas a small school system is around 35-40k a year w/benifits (and lots of vacation time)....sure wish I could land a job with a school system, but it appears I'm "overqualified" even though I'd do it for the same pay as entry level.
