Dear Prospective Employer,

Having recently graduated from the University of Rochester with a
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science/Applied Mathematics, I am
seeking an entry-level position in software design, development
and maintenance.

As you can see from my resume, I have many programming and
mathematics courses behind me.  I spent many semesters working in
Pascal, several semesters with Scheme and Common LISP, and I am
currently doing some volunteer part time work modifying a MIPS
R200 simulator written in C.

My technical training complements my training in art and music.
I am a well-rounded, down to earth person capable of finding creative
and common sense solutions to problems.  Furthermore, my experience
as a waiter has greatly enhanced my interpersonal skills, which I
mention in case you have entry-level positions requiring travel and
customer contact.  I bring unbridled enthusiasm to bear in all my
endeavors, and I am certain I could be an asset to you.

      I am a U.S. citizen willing to relocate to almost anywhere
for the right job.  If you think I might be the right person for
you, please email me at travis@cs.rochester.edu or call me at
(716) 473-7265 to arrange an interview.  Thank you for reading this,
and I look forward to hearing from you.


                               Sincerely,


                               John Alan Travis Low

                and advancement potential.

EDUCATION:      University of Rochester, Rochester, New York.
                B.S. in Computer Science/Applied Mathematics.
                Graduated on May 26, 1991 with 3.58 GPA (top 10%).
                Elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

SKILLS:       + Languages: C, Pascal, Modula2, Scheme, Common LISP,
                assembly languages.
              + Operating systems: UNIX and MS-DOS.
              + Excellent at verbal and written communication.
              + Experienced at dealing patiently with hard-to-please
                customers.
              + Good at working independently and as a team member.
              + Good working knowledge of German.
              + Substantial knowledge of the graphics industry, from
                design to production.  Experienced at visualizing and
                sketching design ideas.

COURSEWORK:   + Computer Architecture, Computer Organization,
                Programming Language Concepts and Compilers,
                Data Structures, Design and Analysis of Algorithms,
