In Closing: A Brief Summary of Technical
and Personal Strengths |
I have a high aptitude for all things encompassing Internetworking Technology, and I’m a very fast learner with new products. Having a pure personal enjoyment for my field of work, I have always found it easy to grasp new concepts and new technology. I love a fast-paced environment and being able to put my set of skills to work fully and completely. I enjoy being part of an IT team of skilled individuals and collaborating on highly technical and time-sensitive projects, although I am disciplined enough to take initiative and work independently. My key primary strengths would be in the areas of network and software troubleshooting, documentation of policies and proper procedures / practices, network protocol configuration and tuning, server documentation and building, email connectivity and security, virus planning / detection / avoidance and LAN / WAN security. I am proficient with communicating technical issues to non-technical professionals (I.E. between IS and upper-level non-IS management), as well as dealing directly with other IT personnel. I have found this interpersonal skill to be highly valuable during my career in IT, as many technology professionals have not developed their communication skills outside of the server room. Having had a previous background in business, and having been a business owner has proved to be an excellent asset in my current line of work. What I enjoy most about being an IT professional is the ever-changing face of technology and the ever-challenging environment it provides. |
