Dear Potential Employer;

	I am a recent Master of Computer Science graduate from the
University of Manitoba. I am available for immediate employment
and I am willing to relocate.

I am currently looking for an entry-level position in a high-tech
company. My main areas of interests are operating-systems, compilers
and GUI construction. I know that someone with my experience may
not immediately start into development. I am prepared to start from
the bottom and work into a development position. I know that with
my enthusiasm and work ethic I can help the right company improve
its position in the marketplace.

I have taught myself C++ and object-oriented techniques. I developed
these while working on my visual programming language. This project
consists of over 9000 lines of C++ code. Much of my experience is
in GUI programming on Sun UNIX machines.

My resume is included. If any of my skills are of interest to you,
do not hesitate to contact me. My permanent address and phone number are
at the top of this letter.


                                                  Yours Sincerly

                                                  Salik Rafiq

			DETAILED EMPLOYMENT RECORD

9/92 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
	UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA
	
Created a short document covering the basics of the Singlefish and Multitank 
simulation systems. I helped to develop these two systems in previous
employment. Described how to build the systems, the overall structure of the
two simulators and the graphics system which I developed.


9/91 - 12/91 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
		UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

Continued work on a part-time basis on the fish growth system that I worked on

during my summer employment. Made enhancements to the Multitank fish 
simulator. Added a fish density-meter which measured grams of fish per litre of 
water. Also added postscript printing ability of the graphs.

5/91 - 7/91 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
		UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

Continued work from previous summer. Worked on graphic charting routines for 
the singlefish growth system. Added routines which plotted line charts for the

different variables involved in the simulation. Added the ability to print 
these graphs to a postscript printer. Added a logging system to the Multitank
simulator system. This echoed to a file, command equivalents of the changes to
the simulation variables performed using the GUI.

7/90 - 8/90 - DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
		UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA

Helped in the develpment of a system that simulated fish growth in tanks under 
controlled conditions. The system was developed on SUN SPARCstation 1's 
using the C language and the XView tool kit. Majority of my work involved the 
creation of graphics routines using Xlib graphics to display fish distribution
in each tank using histograms. As well routines to print growth statistics 
textually to a text frame for each tank were added. An interface to control the
appearances of the graphs was also developed.

5/87 - 8/87 - MANITOBA TELEPHONE SYSTEM
		NETWORK PLANNING SECTION

Developed programs in Dbase III to aid in the tracking of telephone trunk
lines. Work involved developing several programs which converted data supplied

electronically from a mini-computer into Dbase format. Also developed a
program 
to convert telephone traffic data supplied in Lotus 1-2-3 format to Dbase
format. All programs had simple forms type interfaces for ease of use by the
user. All work was performed on an IBM PC/AT computer running MSDOS.
