Dear Prospective Employer:

I am seeking an interesting and challenging position in system
administration. I spent one summer as sysadmin for a large
hardware/home builders' store, and I really liked the job, even though
most of my time was spent contacting the vendor of the system to
report bugs and ask for fixes for other bugs I had reported. I like
helping people and assisting novice users. I wrote two manuals while
working for Timberland Home Center, since the "manuals" shipped with
the system were next to useless for beginning computer users. The
system I maintained ran on a TI Unix box running System V Unix.

I graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in May, 1992 with
a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and a Technical
Translator's Certificate in Russian. I have taken classes in a wide
variety of areas in computer science, including artificial
intelligence, programming languages concepts, operating systems, data
structures, object oriented design, networks, software engineering,
and software system documentation. I have worked on a large number of
computer systems and in many different operating systems and
languages.

I am searching for an entry-level position with good advancement
possibilities. I am willing to relocate almost anywhere.

My resume is attached. Thank you for considering my credentials.

					Sincerely,


					John R. Mayo
