Thank you for posting your need for the position of Helpdesk Support
Analyst with Staff It, Information Technology Staffing, in Morristown, NJ
on talentdesk.com. With 20 years of experience related to the field of
computers, I am very versatile but I feel well qualified to fill the
position you listed. I love new challenges and I thoroughly enjoy
interacting with others to make reaching our employment goal the best
experience it can be.
While employed at The Lennard Clinic Inc., I received updated
certification in Microsoft as well as exposure to new data systems from
the government level. In order to help the company secure its goal, I had
to revise priorities and diagnose reoccurring problem triggers. I
understood the responsibility needed for the tasks to run smoothly and
concurrently. I acted fast and did not miss a step when I became the only
MIS support staff, enabling me to assist during the interview of future
staff and be most qualified to be Department Spokesperson. Since then I
have acquired five additional certifications expanding my prior knowledge
of radio frequency and other technical components. Therefore, I am eager
to utilize my skills.
Thank you for considering what I have to offer. May I come in for a brief
interview? I want to learn more about your excellent company and show you
how I can participate in helping you achieve product and financial goals
I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
