  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • So everyday I deal with tickets in regards to servers and routers specifically, if a client needs upgraded router/server or simply wants to order new ones I deal with the configurations and making sure that it gets sent out with field service to be installed correctly and successfully and not forgetting quickly. I also deal with hard drives from old devices and making sure that they get destroyed in regards to data protection acts and making sure it is done properly.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes i have learnt a lot on configuring networks and building networks within corporations. I am able to set up routers and servers from scratch and am able to link them together to build a reliable and useful network. I have also learnt how to communicate on a professional basis with a team and also with clients to make everything more smooth and professional.
