| Work Experience | |
|---|---|
| Mar 2000 - Present | Currently employed by Matrix Resource Management as a support engineer. The job involves installing, configuring and training on the company's own software package, as well as becoming familiar with many operating systems and hardware configurations. |
| Jan 1998 - Mar 2000 | Sphinx CST Leeds. Originally hired as a Technical Account Manager, I held this post for a little over a year before moving on to become an Implementations Engineer then a Cisco consultant. |
| Aug 1998 - Aug 1999 | As a second job, I worked at PC World in Leeds. Starting as a Sales Advisor, guiding customers on their choice of hardware and software, I moved on to become a Technician. This role involved diagnosing and repairing faults with PCs along with simpler tasks such as fitting upgrade components. Both pre- and post-sales support were part of the job, face-to-face and over the telephone. |
| Nov 1997 - Jan 1998 | Worked in software support for EMIS Ltd. The job involved talking customers through hardware and software problems over the telephone, using a modem to dial into their sites and correcting problems myself. |
| July 1997 | Designed and implemented a MS-Excel spreadsheet for Oils and Soaps Ltd., Bradford. |
| 1996 - 1997 | Co-stallholder at Northern Computer Marts on behalf of Cortek Information Systems of Stoke-on-Trent. Selling goods and offering technical advice to customers regarding their purchases. Some after-sales support was also involved. |
| Designed and implemented a MS-Access database for Oils and Soaps Ltd., Bradford as a summer job. | |
| 1995 - 1996 | PC construction and maintenance for Baron Systems, Leeds. Built PCs from component parts and installed various applications and additional hardware components. While there, I continued to provide telephone support for staff at Firecheck Systems (below). |
| Data entry clerk for Firecheck Systems, Heckmondwike, WF16. Also taught staff how to use Windows applications, optimised PC systems, repaired a faulty computer, and was later contracted in to install a basic Win3.11 LAN. | |
| Interests | |
|---|---|
| Computers | Using a PC at home, I have taught myself the basics of many
applications ranging from office packages to animation and art
programs, as well as learning how to upgrade any part of the
machine. I have a firm grounding in the use of MS-DOS, Windows
(3.x and 95/8), X-Windows and UNIX. Languages I am familiar with
include Ada, C, BASIC and Z80 machine language. In my spare
time, I maintain a popular page on the WWW, available at: http://www.moshville.co.uk |
| Radio | At university, I took an interest in radio broadcasting. For one year I was Senior Producer in charge of Features; a position which involved a lot of organisation and communication with promoters, record companies, etc. Later, I was placed in charge of maintaining and updating the computer systems we have. I also presented a show of my own, producing advertising for it in the form of posters, flyers and radio jingles, most of which were created using various PC packages. |
| Music | Related in some way to my involvement in the radio station was my part in reinstating the university's RockSoc after its non-existence for a year or two. Officially, I am Treasurer but due to the co-operative nature of our exec, I also help with other parts of the organisation (advertising and organising events, co-ordinating with clubs and transport companies, editing the fanzine and so forth). |
