Jeff Matthews
Jeff is committed to seeing the problem through to resolution, which occurs only when the user is satisfied that the problem has been resolved and when the solution is permanent and conforms to policy and best practice. Support techs must be both willing and capable of following all the steps in a procedure even in a crisis, pursuing loose ends when necessary and Jeff has handle change exceptionally well and also has excelled during this time.
Jeff recognizes that we will never know everything about an issue and the key is to know where to look for information and resources and to be willing to ask for help when they need it. Jeff accepts he must be prepared to read manuals and take correction from others. It takes a certain humility to crack open a manual, go to a colleague for a solution.
Jeff has done an excellent job in understanding rapid change is an inherent characteristic of information technology, and those who want to remain productive within the industry must actively seek out every opportunity to further their knowledge, whether through formal training by attending classes or only by reading, participating in forums, and asking questions of co-workers.
