Re: Job opening as an IT-support/IT-representative for education etc.

Hello!

First things first: This webpage/email or PDF is an attempt to introduce myself and my deep knowledge and long practial experience of IT solutions and education. Since I spent the last 18 years as an IT-consultant you will not find a long list of earlier employments as support-technican and similar roles. My business was building adminstrative systems for different purposes for numerous bransches of industry and offer support on them and a myriad of other systems and solutions. In lack of this list of employments I hope to show you some of the projects and work samples instead and some very impressive lists of acronyms and names of technologies and solutions I have worked with, to hopefully convince you of my knowledge and experience. Besides this text, there is more information in my online CV (swedish only)..

Worth noting is also my long experience as a teacher and educator and my long fascination for everything that has do do with learning (se a few of my books below). Among earlier employments are head teacher for an multimediaproductioncource (two semesters long). I have also produces a lot of e-learning and digital content through the years. In my business I got a lot of work teacher/educator for adults, and developed business solutions for training companies and universities. Often tied to learning managements systems.

I have also recently learned all about distance education and remote teaching. I my latest employment for instance, I gave a bunch of classes on Zoom, Skype and everything Google and produced the cource material. I have been a part of live-events with several cameras and lead and been a part of online classes. Have worked with several LMS, CMS and e-learning platforms.

Since my customers and also myself over the years has worked with different kinds of systems and solutions I have a pretty unique insight in a lot of them. More importantly, how to find different solutions for a problem and the tech support/manuals to do whatever the customer needs. More on this later, but it's safe to say that whatever you want me to work with is fine. I will, if not already, pick up how it works very fast. The more IT you know, the easier it is to learn more of it.

Among interesting projects I built there are examples of such different things as LMS-solutiuons, salaries, geocoding, fracture-cases from a clinic at a university hospital, student/teacher/courses information for universities and teaching companies, ecommerce, current and past energy production from windmills, invoicing, book-keeping, digital printing, price/duties-calculation for import/export from/to 26 countries and logistics.

Social media, high volume mailinglists, mediaproduction (print, illustrations, sound and video), website development in different CMS systems and ecommerce solutions are all things I have worked with.

As a small business owner I did all my book-keeping including taxes, and annual reports.

For some administrative roles you would like applicants to have experience in teaching and project management, and I have that too.

Why do I apply?

I feel I'm a good candidate for this position since I have all of the qualifications you mention in the ad. Plus maybe one or two more things not mentioned in the ad in my talent-stack (in swedish) that could be very useful for you as an employer, for instance deep technical know-how, writing skills, media production and much more.

I have missed being a part of education for a while and it would be fun to get back into it.

The system sent a lot of bespoke emails with PDF as attachments: to supplement their applications with missing documents, that they have ben place in group X and grades etc.

Teaching, lectures and training

The start of my career was in teaching even before I i finished high school and went on to the university. I would learn stuff (study techniques, creativity and even flirting) and arrange workshop to share it with friends. I have been working as a teacher for many years before I started my company as head teacher and also as the course developer and trainer for a Apple reseller. And even as an self-emplyed IT-consultant some companies gave me the trust to teach their software cources, as well as my own.

Education

My education consists of a few universite cources in subjects related to internet, pedagogy/learning and media. (Internetprogramming, Pedagogy A, Multimedia, internet and media, Written Communication etc). Also studied ADB (what is now known as Information Technology) in the 1990s and also Didactic method in 2008, but did not finish because of the work-load of my business.

The last 18 years

Between 2001 and 2018 I was an entrepreneur working with webb and database-development. So I have a lot of practical knowledge and experience regarding all sorts of information technology, webb, ecommerce, bussiness solutions, and administrative systems from several different industry sectors

Plus I have worked on many side projects under the same time-period to develop my talent stack, based on my interests. I have learned a lot about content production, writing, influence and social media.

What I read

A fast way to make new friends is discovering you love the same books, don't you think? For me it's Science Fiction if we are talking about fiction, because that was the start for my love of books.

Robert A Heinlein is my hero.

Here are some samples of books I read.

This image show some of the books about pedagogy and learning I have read, used and been inspired by. The subject matters is learning, study techniques, memory techniques, pedagogy, learning strategies, thinking/problemsolving, some cognitive disabilities/or superpowers, language and the brain. Some I used for my workshops and classes in studytechniques and creativity. Others for inspiration and to feed my knowledge addiction.

Communication, marketing, organizational development, change, strategies, campaining, body language, speaking and writing. If you are curios: a facebook-note describing them.

Current

In the end of 2018 I closed down my business and started looking for employment.

Short gigs and part time work is also of interest.

Latest employment:

Administrator, (2020-03-05--2020-06-30, 50%) and again (2020-09-07--2020-12-18, 30%) at Språkservice. Where I performed daily wizardry of the technical and administrative kind.
