Dear interested employer

In my PhD research, I have investigated methods to
improve the software development process.  Currently,
I am looking for a job in a company which is
interested in improving software development
productivity, reusability and various aspects of
software quality.

I am an electronics engineer with four years of
work experience in software and hardware design.
In recent years, during my graduate studies at
Florida State University, I have taught numerous
computer science courses, as a teaching assistant.
My resume is enclosed for your information and 
review.

                sincerely,

                Ilan Itzkovich
