I'm looking for a job in which my talents will be used fully -
I have the potential to offer a great deal of service to the
the future of the corporation I deal with; and I would like to
see the corporation be amongst the leaders of technology in times
to come. I am a jack-of-all-trades, a lateral thinker, a resource
far beyond my programming, learning and teaching skills. I would
like to find a company, a group of people, who will use me well
and properly. In time, it will cost you - as much as your best -
as I will be - and it will be well worth it.
