I am interested in opportinities in technical writing for a hardware
or software firm, developing end-user documentation. I am willing 
to relocate.
 
As my resume indicates, my experience in writing, editing, and
computer hardware and software makes me a well-suited candidate
as a technical writer. This December I will receive my Bachelor
of Arts degree from Humboldt State University with a major in
Journalism and a minor in Computer Information Systems. I hope
that you will find that my activities with programming, writing
and editing have given me ample opportunities to prepare to be a
part of your creative team.
 
In addition to my academic training and work experience, I have
the willingness and ability to take initiative and follow through
on projects. Former employers appreciated my ability to generate
creative solutions quickly, then implement them with little
supervision.
 
Please contact me by U.S. Mail, at the address above, or by
electronic mail. My e-mail address is waffle@euclid.humboldt.edu.
 
                        Thank you,
