Job Responsibilities
Desktop troubleshooting is 70% of my time. The remaining 30% is
split between projects, network administration, business
intelligence regarding technology, PC builds and meetings. I
have initiated, as a senior level technician, reports for
management. I am a project manager for local projects and a
coordinator for national projects. I am a resource for Brio and
Crystal Reports.

Job Requirements
I attended the computer science program at Queens College in the
late 1970's. My training was in mainframe computing and
programming. My present job training came as a result of an IBM-
in-Schools grant.
|
Uppers
The best part of my job is the ability to synthesize strategies and to develop
paradigms and processes.
|
Downers
The rather banal and infantile attitudes of both co-workers and
internal clients.
|
Lifestyle
There is no travel. The dress code is business casual. The work hours are
varied depending on the projects. The social events are targeted to social
people and not to techies.
|
Compensation
Below market value and not valued well internally.

Advice to Jobseekers
The field is great, the company that you choose should be
examined for its culture and its respect for your ability.
Remember no one looks out for you, you have to look out for
yourself.
