Subject: Senior technical writer seeks part-time position
Organization: Applied Microsystems, Redmond, WA
Distribution: seattle
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 22:10:30 GMT


I am looking for a permanent, part-time position (25-30 hours per 
week) in the Kirkland/Redmond/Bellevue area of Washington.
For the past three years I have worked at Applied Microsystems
Corporation (AMC) on a 25 hour per week basis; however, I will be 
leaving AMC at the end of July since their needs now require
a full-time writer.

As my resume indicates, I have experience as both a writer and a
manager. Since the birth of my daughter in 1988, I have left management
to pursue what the Harvard Business Review calls the "Mommy Track."
I enjoy working (and being a mother) very much.  The secret for me
lies in being able to keep the two roles separate and give each my
very best.  I view being able to work part-time as a privilege and
have no problems with occasionally working extra hours as required
to see a task through to completion.

If my qualifications are of interest to you, please contact me at
(206) 823-1087 or at the address listed on my resume.
