Objective

 

I would like to attain a position as a Technical Support Specialist, Help Desk, or Network Tech. I love to learn about new technology and keep up to date. I am very good at sharing what I know with the less technically inclined and helping people.  I would like to do this with a company in which I can utilize and enhance the skills that I already possess, as well as advance within the company as my skills increase. Although, my work history does not reflect this, I am very much in the IT world; I just haven’t been able to secure a position in IT as of yet.  I am currently continuing my education toward a bachelor’s degree in Management of Computer Information Systems to help attain that goal.

I am a device professional support specialist for a blackberry website, where users can join a forum and receive help with their blackberry device. www.pinstack.com

 

I have an above average return rate of best answer given on www.yahooanswers.com in regards to the computer related questions.
