Who You Are:
You are the person always left looking for a solution when others have given up. You live for thinking through issues, finding novel solutions to tough problems, and improving process. You are the type of person that likes to take things apart and rebuild them to see how they work. You are smart, resourceful and charismatic. You communicate issues to engineers on a technical level yet speak clearly to customers. You are a self-starter and can easily motivate yourself when given a project or a task. While you may never have considered a role in technical support, you are excited by the idea of revolutionizing how a company resolves its customers' technical needs. While you may not have a technical background, you feel comfortable working to support users that are more technical and identifying the right resources to assist them and enhance your own knowledge and skills.
