All of today's help desk support skills, in one easy-to-understand book

The perfect beginner's guide: No help desk or support experience necessary

Covers both 'soft' personal skills and 'hard' technical skills

Explains the changing role of help desk professionals in the modern support center

Leading technology instructor Darril Gibson tours the modern help desk, explains what modern support professionals really do, and fully covers both of the skill sets you'll need: technical and personal. In clear and simple language, he discusses everything from troubleshooting specific problems to working with difficult users. You'll even learn how to manage a help desk, so it works better and delivers more value.
