Location is very flexible at this point.  The Eastern Seaboard would be
better. I am sorry I'm not limiting this to location, but that is a wide area.
 
I am looking for junior level positions in advertising: copywriter or idea
generator.  I am also looking for a position as a Junior Tech Writer or
Editor, or PC/Mac support.  I have worked some at all these things, and
graduated 8/92 with a BA.  Please look at my expereience carefully.
 
I have managed conventions, stage productions, theaters, and other
choatic events. I have had several project classes in advertising, producing
entire campaigns, including budgets, artwork, media buying, and corporate
image.
 
For over three years I have been working as a support  contact for non-users
through CS professors. I can coomunicate well with all levels.  I have
written in-house and on-line help for the university and its staff.
 
I speak german fluently and have the advantage of a cross-cultural upbring-
ing.  I was brought up with a German work-ethic...that getting the job done
correctly the first time is the best reward.  I desire to use my creativity,
ingenuity, and technical talents to the benefit of *your* firm.
 
Thank you for your time and consideration. For employers with congruent
open positions, I look forward to meeting with a representative soon to
discuss any open positions.
