Positives: A decade of experience at all levels of IT, including helpdesk support, pc support, systems administration, network administration & monitoring, app development (programming & management), project management, team-building, team-leading,systems integration, can-do attitude, hands-on expertise, works very well with peers, very ethical, does whatever it takes to get the job done. Also considered an excellent teacher/mentor.
Negatives: Often bumps heads with others (Unintentionally, though I do try to avoid conflicts), comes up with totally out-of-the-box solutions that no one understands, TOO proactive, wants to implement long-term strategies today. Not a “politically” savant person (i.e. I call it as I see it, even if it DOES mean a conflict)
Would you hire this a person like this? If so, why? If not, why not? Is it better to have a person who gets things done the right way (almost) all the time, but who usually steps on toes doing it? or is it more important to have someone who doesn’t step on toes, but who is not as savvy regarding possibilities and long-term solutions?
