Objective:
I would like to utilize my extensive experience in
troubleshooting computers, POS systems, peripherals, electricity,
electronics and machinery. I enjoy working in a Hands-On or
Supervisory position in these fields. My Customer Service skills
are excellent because of my 'sense of urgency' that I pursue with
all customers and their needs. With extensive experience as a
Service Manager and Service Technician, I can manage projects from
beginning to end, lead and motivate employees, follow safety
procedures, or implement new ones, read schematics and problem
solve unfamiliar systems. I am looking for a challenging, rewarding
position that will utilize my skills while offering the opportunity
to continue to learn.
I would like to discuss opportunities your Company may offer.
