Dear Prospective Employer,

I am currently completing work towards my Applied Master's in Psychology at the 
University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.  I expect to be finished by mid- or 
late December .  My coursework here focused on human factors (or engineering 
psychology).  The research I was involved in required that I develop a simple
computer simulation on the Macintosh.  I used SuperCard, a powerful prototyping
language similar to HyperCard, for all of the work.  In the course of creating
this software, I became interested in the design of computer interfaces. 

I am seeking an entry level position that will allow me to apply my skills as a
Macintosh prototyper and my knowledge of human factors principles to 
interface research and design.

	Objective:  Position as human factors specialist
		    in interface research and design.

			HIGHLIGHTS OF QUALIFICATIONS

     * 3 years experience in innovative programming using SuperCard.
     * A.M. in Psychology with Human Factors emphasis.
     * Take pride in integrating artistic and creative abilities in 
       technical work.
     * Skill in quick development of powerful software tools using SuperCard.
     * Proven record of success in independent work.

			RELEVANT SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

Software Development / Interface Design
	* Developed STRESSFWL, a unique Macintosh based helicopter simulation
	  currently used in workload research at the University of Illinois
	  and at Northern Illinois University.
	  - Programmed in Supercard; learned the language quickly, achieving
	    status as the "local expert" in less than a year.
	  - Designed an interface that provides the researcher with a high
	    degree of flexibility in experimental design.
	  - Used creative and artistic abilites to produce a program that is
	    both easy to use and aesthetically pleasing.
	* Created the STRESSFWL ANALYZER, a powerful data analysis program
	  that has proven to be an indispensable research tool:
	  - Reduced experimenter analysis time from days or hours to minutes
	    or seconds by providing a wide range of data manipulation functions.
	  - Designed innovative displays that enable the user to extract
	    insightful information from the data.

Experimental Research / Design
	* Collaborated in design and analysis of workload experiments as member
	  of a 3 person team:
	  - Introduced and developed useful data presentation techniques.
	  - Contributed to development of experimental theories and models.
	* Scheduled and organized experiments:
	  - Wrote subject instructions; trained subjects to use STRESSFWL.
	  - Used a camcorder to obtain video and verbal protocal records of
	    experiments.

				EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
	
  * 1991-present   Graduate Research Assistant   Prof. Neville Moray/ U of I
  * 1989-1991  	   Hourly Research Assistant     Prof. Neville Moray/ U of I

				    EDUCATION
