South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated Technical Support Specialist with over four years of experience in providing exceptional technical assistance and support. My journey began in the hospitality industry, where I honed my communication and customer service skills as a Bartender and Assistant Club Manager. This experience has equipped me with the ability to interact effectively with diverse clientele and manage complex situations with ease.
In my most recent role at Henderson Global Holdings, I excelled in troubleshooting hardware, software, and network issues, ensuring timely resolutions and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. My commitment to continuous learning is reflected in my ongoing education in IT Technical Support, where I am developing core skills in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and computer networking. I thrive in dynamic environments and am eager to contribute my technical expertise and problem-solving abilities to a forward-thinking organization.
