Hello, my name is George Thayer and I am hoping to provide you with
enough information in the next few minutes from my 20+ years of service in
the technology field to gain the privilege of an interview for the
Information Technology Manager opportunity. I read your career description
carefully and truly believe that my background, skills and experience are
very good for your particular position.
I managed the design, installation and support for: networks
(LAN/WAN/WLAN/VLAN/VPN), VOIP systems (Shoretel & Cisco), VMware & Hyper-V
virtual server systems, servers (Microsoft 2000-2012, SQL, Web, Exchange
2003-2013 & Terminal), Firewalls & routers (Cisco, Juniper, Netgear,
Watchguard & other), storage & backup systems (Symantec, Veeam, & other
SAN's),disaster recovery systems, paperless imaging/scanning & document
management systems (OnBase), commercial wireless systems and security
monitoring systems. For the past decade I have been a very hands-on IT
manager, infrastructure project manager, helpdesk manager, consultant,
programmer and instructor. I have worked on very large state-wide projects
for MI DOC and Comcast with as many as 200 remote sites and I have my
passport ready for any international. I bring many, many skills to the
table with the ability to learn new ones quickly when necessary.
I have a proven track record of creating, managing and implementing
solutions that improve efficiencies, reliability and quality to many
customers and systems. My resume discusses the basics, but I can best
describe the depth of my abilities and knowledge in person. Please contact
me if you are interested in knowing more.
