IT Skills

My current IT skills are mostly self taught. I started working with computers when I was sixteen years and was fascinated by the different things one could do and the most infamous World Wide Web.

I then got my first job as a Secretary so I had to learn how to type documents making them look proffessional and to print them. I also had to do spreadsheets and power point presentations. After that the computer was fascinating so I just explored on a daily basis and learnt most of the things I know today.

During my twenties I then did courses in Internet, Email technology, Microsoft Office applications, Computer applications, Information Technology Series, Information processing and ECDL to have the certificates to prove that I had IT skills as word of mouth was never
convincing.

I am currently working as an IT Admin Clerk which is very exciting. I get to to install software, fix computer systems including printers when they break down. I speak to different people everyday when they have faults with their computers to help them fix it. It can be very satisfying when they are very grateful when you have helped them to solve the problem.

To date I am still learning as they say you learn something new everyday and you're never an actual expert as there is always something you don't know, even in your specialist area of work.
