Dear Prospective Employer;

Thank you for taking the time to read my qualifications for employment with your company. I have been working on and with computers for well over 15 years and in that time I have become proficient in both the hardware and software aspects of their operation for both stand alone as well as in a networked environment.

I have an in-depth understanding of every Windows based operating system as well as Unix & Linux operating systems, whether in a stand-alone environment or in a Server / networked capacity. I am capable of building computer systems from specifications and troubleshooting computer hardware at the sub-component level, and can design, build and maintain a networked environment. I try to maintain a full working knowledge of all of the latest hardware / software available.

I have extensive experience in the installation of a networked environment – both software and hardware.

I’ve also designed and installed networks for use in security systems with Closed Circuit cameras as well as Point of Sale Cash register networks and building environment control systems. I hold multiple Microsoft Certifications, which I have listed. I also have certifications to dispense technical support with Dell, Micron, Compaq, HP, Gateway, and Sony Laptops and hold a “Recognized Qualified Repair Technician” for IBM laptop / desktop computers.

            I have extensive time, training and experience in troubleshooting hardware and or software over the telephone as well as directly with end-users, on-site. I am quite comfortable working with individuals who are not quite knowledgeable in resolving issues with their systems.

I can work in, and manage a group atmosphere easily, as well as on my own and I am a capable of managing projects to completion without guidance, and have no problems working in a fast-paced environment and completing projects within a projected deadline.

I have extensive training in the installation and day-to-day operations of PBX/V.O.I.P. telephony systems from Avaya, Nortel, Nortel-Meridian and AT&T.
