Aspiring IT Support professional studying for CompTIA A+ certification.
My name is Ian Myers, and I am currently pursuing a career in IT Support while preparing for my CompTIA A+ certification. My journey has been diverse, ranging from running my own garage door business to working as a self-employed courier. Throughout these experiences, I have developed strong problem-solving skills and a customer-centric approach, which I believe are essential in the IT field.
In my previous roles, I have utilized technology to enhance my business operations, whether it was managing customer inquiries or coordinating deliveries. My background in sales and customer service has equipped me with the ability to communicate effectively and understand client needs. I am eager to leverage my skills in a full-time IT Support position, where I can contribute to a team and continue to grow professionally.
