Position ID: Remote Customer Support Agent
Hello there!
Please find attached the accomplishments summary of Jon S. Kernodle, which is submitted to AltaConnect to express interest in your Remote Customer Support Agent position. As the summary indicates, I have about 40 years of accomplishments in information technology. My work has been concentrated around the design, implementation and support of new systems to enable communications &
collaboration.
This work started with positions in the National Security Agency as well as the White House Communications Agency, and my education includes both a BA & an MA from George Washington University as well as 21 IBM certifications. My current position is also in a Technical Customer Support role and prior to this one I completed a two year contract with prominent defense contractor SAIC to implement & support a new secure mobile communications system for the United States Air Force at Hurlburt Field, Florida.
The interim years included work overseas as well as a variety of corporate roles in addition to positions with several IBM Business Partners. The position with SAIC required a Secret Security Clearance as well as the CompTia Security Plus certification, both of which I obtained. This clearance was an update to the Top Secret/SBI/SCI clearance which I held in the eighties.
I would be available to begin this position as a Remote Customer Support Agent
with AltaConnect immediately.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks very much,
Jon S. Kernodle
