Summary
As a former truck driver and field tech, I am seeking a job closer to home. Time management, customer service and trouble shooting are all natural skills to me. Assembling, disassembling and figuring out how things work is something I've been doing all my life. Truck driving paid the bills, but being a field tech was something I enjoyed doing, until the company folded. As a technician, you need not only technical skills, but customer skills too. Time management and route planning are also must haves. Maintaining inventory and communicating with co workers and management. All of these skills are part of my repertoire.
