Objective
I am actively seeking
employment in the Voice/Data Networking and Communications Industry. I have
a very vast and extensive background in the industry all the way back to
1985 in both Inside and Outside Plant. I have also lived, worked, and
traveled all over the country since 1990.
Abilities
I am a quick
study/fast learner at whatever training/certification I get or take. My
above average IQ of 132 helps me to pick up things at a faster pace than
most. I have both Supervisory and/or Lead Technician experience in handling
other employees, i.e. hiring, reviews, training, time studies, etc. I am
especially looking for a company that I can spend the next 20 years with
and then retire. I hope whoever sees my Resume' will give me the
opportunity to interview with them.
