Samenvatting van Bjorn Houben

I am a technical specialist in the areas of Windows, virtualization, networking and Microsoft Applications. I also have general knowledge of other ICT related products/services like by example storage, backup/restore, databases, SAP, CMDB and ticketing systems. I'm also very interested in topics like personal development, what motivates people and how companies and people can grow/improve. I try to share all kinds of information about these topics on my blog http://blog.bjornhouben.com as well.

Besides my work, ICT is also my passion and therefore a big part of my life. Therefore I only want to work at a company that I'm passionate about and where I am able to constantly learn and improve. Other very important factors for me are a great atmosphere, knowledgeable colleagues. I also prefer working with modern/new technologies in a challenging environment while performing a variety of different tasks.

Personal characteristics: teamplayer, ambitious, motivated/driven, analytical, structural, assertive, initiative taker, broad knowledge and interests, eager to learn, quick learner, knowledge sharer, motivator, work well under stress, innovative, flexible, hard working, service/customer focussed, able to see things in perspective and act accordingly, communicates clearly, loyal.
