  6. Technical troubleshooting skills and the ability to explain technical problems to others for diagnosis and solution.
  7. Effective internet searching skills.
  8. The capacity to derive satisfaction from helping others.
  9. A commitment to continuous learning and motivation to improve skills in all areas of support.
  10. A good working knowledge of some of Arcade's and Comrade's supported online games.
  11. The ability to display maturity, professionalism and patience in all situations.
