CAREER OBJECTIVES

Short Summary:

My ultimate occupation would be one at Senior / Management level in a Telecommunications and/or Information Technology environment, where I will have the freedom to apply and manage technology, skills and accumulated experience to the benefit of my Customers/Employers and the Business Processes in their Enterprises/Operations.

Where does this come from?

After almost 20 years in the full time job market, which was only interrupted once for the sole purpose to go to university full time for undergraduate engineering studies, I am sure that I have a very good idea of what I want to do and where I want to venture in the future.

A strong foundation

My strongest points are definitely my radio communications background and the radio communications related experience I have had up to now, be it as hobby, sideline or full time occupation. Radio communications gave me a solid foundation out of which my current broader interest in telecommunications and related matters has evolved.

The Vendor / User relationship

The communications technology that serves humankind these days is usually supplied by a Technology Vendor (Supplier) and acquired by some kind of Technology User. During my employment life I had the opportunity to play roles on both sides of this relationship.

Which side

I came to the conclusion that I would like to play the role on the Technology User side for the rest of my working life, but with a certain twist: I want to acquire the technology and implement it, maintain it and expand it to the benefit of humankind in general and in such a way that one can make available the benefits and services derived from such technology. This will eventually fulfil my engineering ambition: to apply science and technology to the benefit of humankind.

Reward

The greatest reward will be the job satisfaction that I will derive from fulfilling the engineering ambition. It will give me the greatest pleasure to see that I can make a worthwhile contribution and a difference to the welfare of the Community I serve. Obviously fair compensation for fulfilling mandates and responsibilities will apply.
