Objective
Though most of
my professional career has been as an electronic
technician
(audio, TVs, computers, medical & industrial), I
also
have substantial customer/retail
experience
(TV repair counter, audio
equipment & computer sales) and substantial on-line and telephone
technical support experience. I am also a
trained and experienced
technical writer and editor
(software manuals, computer articles,
newsletters, and more).
Of course, my
ideal position would allow me to combine as many of these
abilities as possible to the benefit of my employer.
