Hi all,
Not sure if this will come to anything, but it never hurts to put some details out there and see what happens. If any more specifics required, please PM me.
Name: By Request (no, thats not my name, I mean get in touch. :))
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Attached (10 years). No children.
Location: Southern Sydney (Sutherland, moving to Ryde/Epping area soon).
Experience: Various positions over the years, including:
Computer Technician/Sales (Harvey Norman & Retravision), Accounts Receivable (small business, short term position, but I was quite good at it :p), IT Management for large Real Estate franchise (2x servers & 50x workstations).
Have been self employed in mobile computer repairs/ IT Consultancy approx 8 years. Controlled all aspects including advertising, fielding calls, selling my services, invoicing, chasing payments. Onsite, email and phone support, with a 'knack' for giving good direction via email and telephone to solve problems where practical. Service home and small business clients, ranging from retail stores to solicitors.
Although not experienced in any particular other field, am not neccesarily looking for another IT position as I am fairly drained and fed up with computers. Will still consider a position that may not be quite as high pressure as being soley responsible for getting them fixed (as I have been whilst self employed). Not keen on 'hard sell' sales. I can sell IT products based on a technical know-how and good communication skills, but I am not a 'salesman'.
Other industries interested in: Real Estate/Mortgage broking/Conveyancing, Animal Management/husbandry/care
General interests: Animals (house full of pets), Kayaking, Fishing (specifically kayak fishing), Woodwork (VERY, very limited skills). Music (listening to, varied - Elvis to Ozzy Osbourne) :)
Can work autonomously, actually prefer it that way, however can take direction when required.
I feel I have excellent communication skills and can deal with all walks of life and backgrounds. As a result I have built up an excellent rapport with many regular clients, many of whom are 'freaking out' that I might not be there to help them for much longer.
Having been self employed for 8 years, Character/Work References will be available from current long term clients.
Open to change of career direction, even if not related to prior experience or interests. Not afraid of 'hard work', but am not interested in hard physical 'labour' or commission only work. I am willing to travel as part of my position where neccesary but am not looking for positions where the main function is driving (ie on the road all day for deliveries, etc). However I do have an excellent driving record with full gold NSW Class C drivers licence (never lost points) when needed.
Non Drinker (odd glass socially), or illegal drug user, however I am a smoker (I do respect non-smokers nearby, smoke outside at home, and never in the car with passengers, and all workplace regulations). I live on coffee. :2tsup:
Thanks for your time.
