  • Handles stress well: Conflict resolution skills and a personality that thrives in a dynamic environment.
  • Reliable: Reference checks should reveal no attendance/tardiness patterns. 
  • Ethical: The demands of this position are not an excuse to abandon our values, but rather, an opportunity to reveal them to our customers.
  • Great written and verbal communicator: Loves writing and talking about technical concepts to a wide range of audiences and understands the importance of listening to the customer before delivering service.
