the computer in her office. She accidentally left a report open next to her computer. It states
that a friend of yours in accounting will be submitted for review if their poor work
performance continues.
Which of the following is the BEST action to take?
Tell your fellow PC technicians about what you saw and let them decide
what to do with the information.

how you got the information.
 
Ignore the paper and tell no one of its contents.
 
Tell your friend about the report you saw and whose desk it was on
Explanation

expected for any sensitive information that may be found in an employee's office.
It is never appropriate to share sensitive, work-related information found in an employee's
office with anyone in a company or friends.

© you had to callin, Thanks for making my day! All I had to do was flip this,
little switch. You're good to go."

© off. That's why nothing worked. If I were you, I would have checked this
first and saved both of us time.”
“1 found this power strip switch in the off position. Now that it's on, it
> @ looks like everything is working. It appears as though that was the
problem. Can you confirm that the problem has been resolved?"
"AIL did was flip the power strip switch on. You probably bumped it by
_, accident. And that accident just cost you about $80. But don't feel bad,
accidents happen to everyone. Although, this one could have been
easily avoided.”

do your best to contact someone who can take care of the job and arrange for them to
perform the task.
You should never try to perform a task that is beyond your ability or job description. You could
end up making the problem worse. If there is a task that you can't perform, you should not
leave it up to the user to find the correct help. This can make a user feel overwhelmed or
abandoned.

You are an IT technician for your company. A coworker calls your department and asks for
help fixing his malfunctioning internal Blu-ray drive, which he installed himself. When you
arrive, you unplug and then open the employee's computer.
As you begin to examine his computer, the employee begins to describe the steps he has
taken to install and troubleshoot the issue on his own. You examine all of the connectors and
discover that the employee forgot to connect the Blu-ray drive's power cable. You comment
on this to the employee by saying, "Here's this issue. The power cable isn't connected. You
should really take more time to make sure components are properly installed before calling
me."
At that moment, another coworker calls your cell phone. The ringing of the phone distracts
your thoughts, and while the owner of the computer is still explaining the troubleshooting
steps already completed, you quickly connect the power to the device and close the computer.
A quick test determines that the device is now working.
Which of the following professionalism principles is the technician failing to follow? (Select
two.)
> Avoiding being judgmental
‘Allow the client to speak and avoid interrupting
Talking to coworkers while interacting with customers
(J Argue with customers and/or be defensive
>@% Actively listening
Explanation
In this scenario, the technician should have taken the time to actively listen to what the end
user was saying instead of ignoring him and beginning to troubleshoot while he was still
talking. The technician should have also been taking notes, which could then be helpful while
troubleshooting.
Even though the technician correctly informed the employee about the issue, the technician
hould avoid being judgmental by commenting on the carelessness of the employee during
installation of the drive.
The technician did, however, allow the client to speak without interrupting and avoid the
distraction of answering the phone call or arguing with the customer.

As you arrive on-site at a customer's place of business, you go to the front desk and ask for
the manager of the IT department. The manager greets you and tells you to use their first
name, which is Robin. Robin then escorts you to the printer, which is jammed
After you fix the printer, the existing print job completes. As the paper comes out, you notice
that one of them is marked confidential and has to do with an upcoming merger. You find
Robin and say, "Robin, your printer is fixed and working perfectly."
Robin then escorts you off the premises. When you get home that evening, you tell your
spouse about the merger document you saw, The next day, you call Robin to verify that the
printer is still functioning properly.
Which of the following professionalism principles did you fail to to follow?
© Use appropriate professional titles.
© Follow up with the customer to verify satisfaction.
> © Deal with confidential materials appropriately.
© Avoid being judgmental.
Explanation
Although you never posted anything on social media regarding your experiences at the IT
manager's company, you should have never discussed the confidential papers you viewed
with your spouse. Therefore, you did not deal with confidential materials appropriately.
Calling the IT manager by their first name is appropriate, since the manager told you it was
appropriate to use Robin. It is safe to assume the manager would prefer to be called by that
name.
There is nothing in the dialog to indicate that you were being judgmental. You also called the
next day, which is a good follow-up practice.

While on a service call at a customer site, you are discussing the problem with the customer
when your cell phone rings. You check the caller ID, and you see that the call is related to
parts you ordered for another customer.
Which of the following is the MOST professional way to handle the situation?
© Answer the phone and say, "I'm busy right now. I'll call you right back."
_~_ Immediately answer the phone and try te finish the call as fast as you
O°
can,
-> @ skthe customer ifit is okay to take the call and then step into the
hallway to briefly talk on the phone.
«Ignore the phone and let it continue ringing until the caller reaches
your voicemail.
Explanation
Because the call is work-related, the most professional way to handle the situation is to ask
the customer if they mind if you take the call. Most customers will have no problem with this.
Letting the phone continue to ring is very distracting. Quickly answering the phone without
asking the customer is rarely appropriate, even ifit is to say you'll call the person back.

As a PC technician you know you will be late to an appointment with a customer. Which of the
following actions should you take? (Select two.)
>@ Contact the customer and apologize.
Explain why you are late.
Blame your tardiness on heavy traffic.
> @_ Give a realistic timeframe for your arrival.
Tell a joke to ease the situation.
Explanation
Asa technician, if you are going to be late to an appointment, contact the customer, apologize
for the inconvenience, and give a realistic timeframe for your arrival. Use professional and
courteous language at all times.
Avoid making jokes or commenting on issues unrelated to the purpose of your visit.
Explaining why you are late may be courteous, but is typically trivial and not the best action to
take. Blaming your tardiness on external factors does not help the situation.

You are the PC technician for a company. You received the following email from an employee:
My email doesn't work. I keep getting email sent back to me, and I can't find any of my old
emails. I don't think that the email program has ever worked well
When you arrive at the employee's desk, you observe how the employee accomplishes normal
email tasks. You quickly determine that the problem is not with the email program, but that
the employee needs to learn how to use the program. You have several high-priority tasks
that need to be completed by the end of the day.
What is the BEST way for you to respond?
«Tell the employee to ask their co-workers how to use the program if he
come across further problems.
Inform the employee that there isn’t anything wrong with the program
and that he simply does not know how to use it correctly.
© Direct the employee to the email program's help utility.
 
Set an appointment to train the employee on how to complete common
email tasks.
7®@
Explanation
You should meet with the employee at a later time to show him how to use the email
program. Even though teaching employees how to use their email may not be your highest
priority, it doesn't mean that it isn't a high priority to the employee.
Bluntly telling an employee that they don't know how to use a program properly is not
respectful or helpful. You shouldn't redirect questions to coworkers. If it is a problem that you
can address yourself, it is your responsibility to provide assistance. Telling the employee to
use the help utility in the email program may not be sufficient education. You could tell the
employee about the help utility for future reference, but you should try to answer any
questions directly while you're working with him.

An employee calls you to demand more RAM for her computer to complete her work tasks.
However, you know that her department doesn't have a budget for new equipment. Your
supervisor is the only one that has authority to allocate department funds.
Which of the following is the BEST way to respond?
Tell the employee that her department doesn't currently have a budget
for equipment upgrades, but that you will let your supervisor know
about the request so it can be properly determined if new RAM can be
acquired.

Tell the employee that you will get new RAM for their computer as soon
as possible.
 
Tell the employee that she should make do with what she has.
Tell the employee that the best option is for her to purchase new RAM
for the computer and bring it to work,
 
Explanation
The best response is to tell the employee that her department doesn't currently have a
budget for equipment upgrades, but that you will let your supervisor know about her request
so he can properly determined if new RAM can be acquired.
You should not simply dismiss an employee's request. Perhaps this is not a need that is known
to your supervisor and can be remedied.
Though purchasing her own RAM is an option, it is the company’s responsibility to supply
sufficient equipment and supplies for their employees to complete their tasks.
You do not have the authority to tell an employee that they will receive new supplies. All
requests need to be directed to your supervisor first.
