Objective

I am a team player seeking a career in the electronics field. I have a

broad knowledge in diagnostics and repair of consumer electronics, as

well as home appliances.

Summary of Qualifications

I have been an in-home electronics repair technician (primarily TV's) for

the past 14 years. During that time a saw a transition from the old CRT

televisions to the new digital plasma, LCD, and LED units. I also

expanded my knowledge over into repair of home appliances (dishwashers &

cooking), garage door openers, and fitness equipment. My electronics

experience came from six years active duty in the United States Navy,

where I worked in the avionics field. I also have a broad understanding

of Windows 7, Vista, XP, Microsoft Office, as well as web navigation.

Work Experience

Service technician (10/1996 - 11/2010)

Sears Holdings Inc, Springdale, AR

In-home consumer electronics repair technician (primarily TV's), as well

as home appliance repair (dishwashers/cooking). Also did repair work on

garage door openers and fitness equipment, which occasionally involved

repair of electronics. I would also handle all service tickets related

to these calls via use of a laptop computer for proper billing and

warranty claims. This job included the use of hand tools, power tools,

test equipment (volt/ohmmeter, oscilloscope), technical support staff,

and a company-provided van with an expansive parts inventory. I did

complete several field training courses during this time.

Avionics Technician (9/1990 - 10/1996)

United Stated Navy

I was trained at Naval Air Technical Training Command, Millington, TN, to

earn my rating as an Avionics Technician. After the initial 28-week

class, I took an additional "advanced" avionics class for 11 weeks and

was advanced early to E-4. I then transferred for final fleet training at

Naval Avionics Center, Indianapolis, IN. There, I was trained on the EP-

3E Aries reconnaissance electronics platform. I performed maintenance on

this system at my duty stations in Guam and Whidbey Island, WA. During my

tenure at both duty stations I received additional training on micro-

miniature electronics repair, as well as Basic Military Police training.

I was advanced to E-5 in August 1995 and given shift supervisor duties.
