Office 2007 and 2010 people should know how to troubleshoot the issues with the product. Networking experience on troubleshooting an issue with an Internet \ network being down. "The type of candidate we are looking for has to have a good working knowledge of the Windows operating systems and messaging/collaboration programs coupled with solid troubleshooting skills. If they have had previous call center experience that certainly helps, but without the basic skills, they can’t pass the technical assessment.

Always clarify all days of the week (weekends included) and times your candidates can work at the top of your resumes b.
