Been a while but I'm back. Now a Xerox IT analyst instead of a sharp technician. I am finding that in some ways I dig Xerox a LOT more than sharp but in a few ways I'm still a fish out of water when it comes to some Xerox issues. Feels a bit like I've transitioned from windows to mac, if it isn't there, good luck on some things. But either way glad to be back and with any luck after two months of xerox training I hope to be able to help those that have not had that chance.

Re: Change in profession
You'll do fine, I'm sure.
I think that you'll find most copier techs can't seem to escape the profession. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Change in profession
Can't see myself doing anything else. Ride in somebody else's truck, their gas and maintenance, people happy to see you show up, get challenged with new problems. I think of what a great job this is every time I pass people doing road work.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen HawkingComment

Re: Change in profession
True that. I used to be oilfield for five years. This work is much safer though not as well paying, for now. My only real complaint at the moment is using my vehicle for everything. But, there are worse things I suppose.Comment

Re: Change in profession
If you get reimbursed it will cover your car payments, gas, maintenance plus a little extra. Think of it as a free car. Although you must be disciplined, can't take the gas check as "income"Comment

Re: Change in profession
This profession was my "sea change".
30 years as a Bookbinder in the print industry and the last 12 as a technician.
Love being out in the bush fixing stuff all day....as opposed to standing in one spot on a concrete printery floor all day every day.Comment

Re: Change in profession
Reimbursement model covers 24mpg, not my 2003 Tahoe. Been trying to sell it and get something more gas savvy but so far no luck. Done over seven thousand miles in six or seven weeks.Comment

Re: Change in profession
I didn't start in this profession until I was 40, been doing it 14 years now. I worked in retail until then and now appreciate having customers who are actually glad to see me, maybe that's the reason I'm not as angry as some on here.Comment

Re: Change in profession
Somehow I got this crazy idea in my head that most people are logical, intelligent, thinking individuals.
It's so disappointing to be proved wrong multiple times each day. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
