In my previous role as an IT Support Specialist, I encountered a complex IT issue where a remote employee's laptop was not connecting to the company's VPN. I started by asking the employee specific questions about their network connection and troubleshooting steps they had already taken. Through effective communication, I determined that their network adapter needed to be updated. I guided the employee through the process step-by-step, providing clear instructions. After the update, I remotely connected to the laptop to ensure that the VPN connection was established successfully. I also followed up with the employee to ensure their issue was fully resolved.
