Resume of Alex Shalifoe
SUMMARY
In my education and personal experience I have learned much about establishing a computer network and
maintaining it, all the while improving flexibility. I have also learned throughout my Bachelor’s Degree that the
same rule of flexibility applies in all aspects of troubleshooting and technical customer service. With this
understanding I have applied my own personal drive, dedication and adaptability in excelling in my coursework at
ITT as well as in my work history.
