When troubleshooting a technical issue, I follow a systematic approach: first, I listen carefully to the customer’s description of the problem, then I ask probing questions to gather more information. I utilize documented procedures to perform a 1st level problem determination and document all steps taken to ensure accurate records for future reference. Clarity and patience are essential in this process to maintain a positive customer experience.

Time management and organization skills help ensure all requests get the attention they need.

In my previous roles, I emphasized thorough documentation, recording every step taken during troubleshooting and the final resolution.
