To whom it may concern:
I have experience and education that provide a foundation for me to be an asset to your organization.
My qualifications include a Bachelor of Science with a major in Geology and minor in Mathematics. During the ten years I worked for Conoco Inc. in the Geophysics Department, I was responsible for the development and maintenance of mapping, log analysis, and seismic processing applications. I also performed mud logging duties on two wells during the summer in college.
I have extensive experience in the computer operations field, and have worked as a Systems Analyst, Geoscientist, Computer Scientist, Program Developer, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) developer and Software Engineer. I owned and managed a successful medical office practice management systems computer support and services company, until its sale to WEBMD. The business specialized in providing complete operational support of the medical practice management systems used in physician’s offices. Responsibilities included support for the entire office staff, hardware installation, networking, software implementation, system security, data integrity and training. I had the responsibility to plan, coordinate, and set schedules for the installation, implementation and maintenance of all management information systems for over forty separate physician sites. One site had over thirty employees that supported four cardiovascular physicians.
I started my own business as an independent business evaluations expert and performed business evaluations using a program I created in a Microsoft Excel program that performs calculations and produces reports to establish a fair market value of a business.
I have the ability to communicate and interact effectively with a broad spectrum of individuals, whether they be geoscientists, business owners, computer professionals or the general public. Computer operations must be kept running. System Security has become a vital area of need in the Information Technology field. Operating systems, networks, and applications being run over the networking systems are now utilized so extensively the performance of all these systems need to be constantly monitored, managed, and upgraded if they are to remain operational.
I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and discuss my qualifications and your needs in detail. If my skills, abilities and experience do not fit the required parameters for this position please inform me of any other positions in which you think I could contribute.
Thank you for your consideration.
