Work history

IT support technician

St Clement Danes School
Chorleywood, Hertfordshire
2017.11 - Current
  • Conducted effective IT support service training for 250 employees and 2000 students leading to improved operational efficiency.
  • Used ticketing systems to effectively prioritise end-user issues, minimising equipment downtime.

Example: Every ticket system for raising and resolving issues.

  • Leveraged available resources, knowledge and equipment to resolve customer requests.

Example:( Customer had issues with mail merge adding images, researching how to add images in a mail merge, fixed by googling the issue and implementing/trying the solutions.

  • Troubleshot operating systems, hardware and software problems to identify root causes.

Example: Investigating beeping sequence on computers, or software issues(drivers) or specific software errors like Microsoft Word, Excel etc.

  • Responded to incidents on-site, providing precise time estimations and managing customer expectations.

Example: Teacher screen is not working. It's affecting the teaching which requires immediate attention. Some issues require time to investigate, re-create the issue or waiting on the 3rd party support.

  • Wrote technical documents related to current products for publishing on support page.

Example: Wrote a mini guide for teachers with common issues that they might face when they start their lesson. Most common was duplicating the screen where I created a mini card and distributed it to all classrooms and announced it via email at the start of the term. It was a success as the raising tickets for the related issue dropped by ~85%.

  • Communicated technical concepts to customers clearly by phone, email and online chat.

Example: I provide phone/remote support to staff members and phone support to parents when they need help with school accounts or connection issues to our school services.

  • Provided technical support throughout development phases of new products.

Example: We moved from a Microsoft tenancy to Google Workspace for school where I had to have training and also assist staff and students with the changes.
