Compucom

• IT Services and IT Consulting
• 700 & Above Employee

• Break/fix support engineer

  • May 2001 - Jun 2003

  I was permanently stationed at one of CompuCom's largest accounts (at the time). I was responsible for responding to desktop and printer support tickets sent over from phone support. Myself and two others troubleshooted and resolved any desktop or printer related issues for the 1500+ users in the building. Unlike other organizations where there might be separate hardware and software teams; I was responsible for both.During my time with CompuCom, I had the highest amount of closed tickets for my team, I never went over SLA and I created troubleshooting bootdisks that allowed myself and the rest of the team to quickly and accurately diagnose computer problems.
