Dear Prospective Employer:

I have extensive professional consulting experience at IBM as an AIX
Specialist.  Major activities in this position include project
planning, technical feasibility analysis, authoring contract
proposals, customer support, and contract fulfillment.  I have
extensive field experience in contract planning and technical
consulting for IBM products, primarily the RISC System/6000, but also
including other IBM products such as the PS/2, AS/400, and ES/9000.
Quite often I have proposed new hardware and software solutions that
must integrate into existing multivendor networked environments.  I
have taken a leading technical role in proposal authoring for large
customers such as International Management Group, Roadway Express, the
City of Cleveland, Ohio Edison, and AGA Labs.  I have an interest and
aptitude in determining business requirements and problem solving.

I am familiar with several hardware platforms, operating systems, and
programming languages, with emphasis on UNIX-based platforms.  My
communication skills allow me to disseminate information effectively
to both technical and non-technical personnel.  My outstanding
presentation skills communicate important ideas effectively to both
colleagues and customers.  You will find me an organized, highly
motivated person.

I desire a growth oriented technical position in product marketing and
consulting taking advantage of my extensive experience in open
systems.  I am willing to relocate and I enjoy business travel.  If
your requirements match my experience and objectives, I would very
much like you to contact me.  A copy of my resume is included for your
examination.  Please contact me if you require additional information.

                                        Sincerely,
                                        Victor D. Grund
