Dear prospective employer,

	I am seeking a position as a quality assurance engineer in the

a BS in Electronic Music.  I have about a year in quality assurance and at
least two years as a system administrator.  My background is in PC's, Mac,
and Sun platforms.  I was also a co-author of a few articles in a nationally
published magazine.

	I work best in a team environment.  I have excellent communication
skills. I have worked in a fast-paced environment under strong deadlines.
My references will tell you that I am extremely easy to work with.

	Due to the need for privacy, I cannot provide a resume on this
newsgroup.  However, I will be happy to provide a resume and some references
upon reply to this article.  I would appreciate it also if you could also
give me a job description so that I can quickly respond to you.
