Dear Prosepctive Employer:

I am looking for a job primarily on the West Coast (Bay, Portland, Seattle) 
(unless a very challenging opportunity appears somewhere else).  I think 
I can offer a lot of capabilities that are seldom found in one person.  
Most notably, I offer a unique blend of software engineering and quality 
engineering disciplines.  I am looking for an environment that offers 
diverse challenges and three key ingredients:

1.Fit:		A Clear need for all my software engineering, evaluation/QA, 
		process/metrics, project/program management background.
		Freedom to exercise judgment.
2.Opportunity:	Potential to benefit proportionate to my success.
		Exposure to successful people, new technology/applications.
		Experience with broad sphere of activity and influence; 
		fast pace; and sense of urgency.
3.Fun:		Performance of responsibilities as a significant value.
		Intellectually inspiring.
		Requires hard work, so that successes have more meaning.
		Challenging so as to satisfy my own needs to win and excel.

I want to work for a company that is looking for someone on their team who:

o	is innovative, technically sound and knowledgeable in the areas of 
	software development and QA processes and methodologies (software 
	engineering).
o	has the technical and program/project management experience.
o	has done and understands the ISO9000, SEI process maturity and 
	Malcolm Baldrige assessments for improving the software processes.
o	is active in software process, assessments, and metrics research, 
	and has the ability to implement metrics and effective software 
	processes in organizations.
o	has successfully developed relationships with ISVs.
o	has a clear focus on customers and their needs.
o	has strong demonstrated written and verbal skills.
o	is a go-getter, produces results and likes challenges.

The attached resume highlights my key accomplishments which span over 14 
years of dedicated work.  I have a good understanding of the software 
development issues faced by the developers and the quality issues faced 
by the customers.

In short, I offer a unique and valuable skill set, strong customer/people 
orientation, accountability, and solid technical/management capabilities.  
Please let me know if you need more details. 

Sincerely yours,



Sandhiprakash Bhide
