Project Coordinator/Web Designer
6/2001 - 9/2001

I was originally contracted for this position to reformat and redesign the CHIS intranet site.  At the end of that assignment, my contract was extended to assist the Project Coordinator.  This is an Oracle development department.  They were in the process of converting a very large Foxpro database system to Oracle for this medical insurance claims processing company.  My duties included working with Visio to create flowcharts, designing Word templates, updating specialized databases, updating MS Project plans, assisting in coordinating and updating specifications and various other assignments as needed.

In addition, I also created all of the census tract maps for their cross-reference directories, designed the CD covers, wrote the technical documentation and created the help menus for their custom software program. Additionally, I completed a project that involved creating an historic Chinese stamp album.

 

 

Help Desk Tech Lead
8/1990 - 3/1995
IBM

 

 

I was the Technical Lead in charge of 2nd, 3rd and weekend shifts at IBM End User Support in Tampa, Florida.  IBM contracts with companies to provide personal computer help desk assistance on all shrink wrapped software for DOS, Windows, OS/2 and Macintosh platforms, custom software unique to some clients and hardware.  Customers are assisted via telephone calls to IBM End User Support where they are connected to an End User Support Representative who assists in resolving any problem they may be experiencing.  In this position, I was responsible for ensuring that calls were answered in a timely and accurate manner; resolving customer issues; assisting End User Support Representatives with difficult questions; and answering incoming calls along with the Support Representatives.

Prior to being assigned the duties of Technical Lead, I was an End User Support Specialist.  As a Support Representative for IBM, I was responsible for answering incoming calls and resolving personal computer technical issues for customers.  Due to the nature of the calls and working 2nd shift the majority of the time, I became knowledgeable in a myriad of personal computer software and hardware products, including a multitude of various hardware components operating in Windows, DOS, Macintosh and OS/2 environments.  Issues resolved included: printing problems, specific software how-to issues, communication and network issues, file transfer and conversions, error resolution and document recovery, memory configuration, product installation, and hardware configuration.  I also performed on-site training for one of IBM's larger clients.

 

 

Word Processing Supervisor
8/1988 - 6/1990
Time Customer Service

 

 

In this position I supervised a department of 15 word processing operators.  During my time in this position, I was responsible for creating macros in WordPerfect to expedite the operators' input/output.  Additionally, I was instrumental in recommending and assisting in the implementation of a Macintosh Apple network utilizing Word for the Mac and was assigned the duties of system administrator for the network.  Due to the fact that there was no on-site support person at this location, I was often called upon to resolve PC problems of other users in the building.  I was also repsonsible for creating a complex worksheet in Lotus 1-2-3 which was utilized to estimate time requirements necessary to process the influx of mail for American Family Publishers.  

 

 

Word Processing Administrator/Legal Secretary
3/1985 to 8/1988
Alley & Alley Chartered

 

 

My primary duty while working for this law firm was to act as legal secretary to one of the partners.  This is a labor law firm.  The work I was involved with revolved around EEO and Workers' Compensation claims, union matters and litigation involving labor disputes.  The firm represented clients throughout the US, therefore, I often prepared papers to be filed in courts outside of the local jurisdictions.  I was also the systems administrator for their Wang Word Processing System.  While in this position, I wrote many glossary programs (templates and macros) to aid in accomplishing routine tasks more efficiently.

 

 

Office Systems Support Specialist
5/1981 - 11/1984
Price Waterhouse

 

 

In this position I worked with one other support specialist.  We were responsible for supporting the word processing departments in the Price Waterhouse practice offices throughout the United States.  During my time at Price Waterhouse, I often trained employees in the operation of Digital word processing equipment and IBM PCs.  Additionally, I was responsible for researching, evaluating and recommending various types of computer related equipment, writing technical documentation, and creating complex documents including spreadsheets with macros and relational databases. Prior to working in the Tampa Administrative Center I was a working Word Processing Supervisor in the Portland, Oregon office.

Additional
Information

While at IBM, I was assigned to a team to compete for a regional award.  We concentrated on creating a resolution for lowering the amount of time a support representative spent with a customer in order to lower call hold times while still giving excellent customer service.  Our team won the award and split a check for $9,000 plus other bonuses.
