Hi Ronald,

don't be disappointed: I am writing from Austria - a country in the middle
of good old Europe - so, I can't give you a job, but I would like to
encourage you. I think it would be very refreshing to have someone like you
with your special abilities in a museum, a science or a nature museum or
anything. I do hope that the museum world of the US thinks the same - I wish
you all the luck.

Peter

Betreff: Hello and Employment help desired.


>Hello List,
>
>        I would like to introduce myself.  My name is Ronald Rowe.  I have
joined this list with the resolve and hope of changing my career path after
nearly 20 years.  I have reached a point in my life where I wish to find a
position that has a greater personal reward.  My desired  position is that
of an exhibit designer and fabricator.
>
>        My background is in audio and video production and post-production.
And as a television broadcast engineer and as a network engineer (in this
case five channels of "The Discovery Channel" and one channel of
"Locomotion" that can be found on about 2,000 cable channels inclusively).
In that position I have been responsible for the design, costing, bidding,
construction, installation and maintenance of a television station,  two
post-production facilities and six channels of network television over the
years.  I am a hands-on multi-talented person in my profession and in my
personal life.  I like working with my hands when I can produce tangible
results.  It is not my desire to find a position that does not allow me to
use my hands as well as my mental abilities.  I have a rather extensive list
of personal tools.  And, I have the capability and desire to use them.
>
>        I would appreciate any and all help that you might personally be in
a position to provide by sending me leads, hints and/or  critiques of my
resume you can find at my spot on the web.  I have found the most popular
career sites on the Internet that have museum job postings.  I have at least
one good lead to follow up on.  But it never hurts to ask you, the inside
professional, for help.  For which I would like to now thank you in advance.
>
>        I the same spirit of my request to you, I would like to extend an
offer to share any  knowledge of audio, video, production and
post-production to those who might benefit from it on this list.  Even if
you cannot provide a lead or assistance, I would be happy to help if I can.
>
>        Thank you for your time.  An extensive resume, not to mention
several thousand jokes :), can be found on my website at
