LTS Help Desk Employment Opportunities
The LTS Help Desk is the first line of support for university students, faculty, staff and emeriti. Help Desk Consultants come from a wide variety of majors and backgrounds, but all have an interest and passion for technology and helping others!
What Do Help Deskers Do?
Help Desk Consultants greet campus community members, listen to to the technical problem description, and either A. Fix the issue for the client, or B. Escalate the issue to another sub-area in LTS/CETL. Help Desk Consultants assist clients in person, over the phone in our call center, and via email.
