JACOB L POLLARD

I fully intend to attain a masters degree in computer science and a career in technologies.

• Computer Builder
• I have had a passion for computers for as long as I can remember. When I turned twelve I was given a laptop from my cousin. I then after about a week proceeded to take that computer completely apart. It was not until I was around thirteen and a half that I had a working computer again... And that "working computer" was the modified monstrosity that i created to be a gaming pc out of an old compaq laptop that I received over a year ago. Ever since then I have gone on to make three of my own computers and many other custom computers from scratch for my family and friends. As well as taught people how to fix and build their own pc's. My passion definitely lays with computers and all other technologies.
• Customer Service
• I have been working since I was sixteen years old. I have always heard "working with people is awful", "working in customer service is the worst". I tend to disagree I honestly very enjoy working with people face to face. I not only enjoy just being there as a salesperson or a "person behind a register", but I am thoroughly delighted when I can really help someone with what they need and hopefully brighten their day. I always enjoy seeing someone leave with a smile after talking with me as well as receiving complements on being kind and helpful.
• Carpentry
• I have some background working with my father on personal carpentry jobs. I account my improving of two very important skills to this experience. The first would learning to be an extremely hard worker and how rewarding that hard work can be. The second being giving me exposure to become accustomed to one on one customer service, as far as meeting and getting to know the customer, and their needs, personally. This go as far as cultivating my work to fit their needs and wants, working with them to do things the they're happy with and work that I can be proud of.
