To whom it may concern:
 
I have recently e-mailed you a resume. Since then I 
have added more information on my technical experience, and have set a date to 
arrive in Ottawa (April 5, 2000). Any consideration you could give me will 
be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

My knowledge of IBM compatible microcomputer hardware is very well rounded and goes back to 1990 where I assembled and repaired computers in my own service business as a total solution provider. Over the years I have worked on thousands of computers, and 
i
nstalled over 200 small LANs for small and medium sized businesses. My business partner was a CNE from whom I learned a great deal over the years, and from courseware on Novell NetWare among others. Most of my microcomputer network installations were Nove
l
l NetWare systems. I also have plenty of experience with all versions of Windows and Windows NT. I have a reputation as an excellent troubleshooter and I am familiar with virtually all microcomputer hardware, diagnostics, peripherals, and their related so
ftware.

e
nt tools for this superior product. I feel that I have mastered it and still use it today to maintain products that I have produced. Also I have been using Clarion for Windows, Access and Paradox  for a few years. I have recently begun to learn Microsoft
