Please find attached a copy of my resume in the hope that we may pair up
my skills sets with new and ongoing developments in your area of
expertise, marketing.

        Groups or divisions within you company that I may be useful as a
systems engineer are:

                   Personnel Training:  Programs and services for
staff
                recruitment, and continued personnel training.

                   Product Development:  Refine existing while producing
new and
                innovative training packages to complement services and
products
                under development and already existing.  For example,
                Multi-media products to exemplify and be included in new and
                revised software packages being brought to market.

                   Public Relations:  Market Research, Advertising, and related
                support and services.

                   Distance Education:  Educational packages that student's can
                be complete at their convenience.  For example Internet access
                and other means of packaged educational outreach.

        The preceding exemplifies how I may benefit your institution as a
whole.  Understandably, your closer perusal can undoubtedly reveal more
accurate and insightful means.  Thus I readily welcome the opportunity to
discuss this with you at greater length.

        Aside from the initial novelty of computers, the ease with which
this rapid learning curve was accomplished has truly intrigued me, and
resulted in my pursuit of graduate studies in  Instructional Technology9.
Consequently, I believe my graduate studies justifiably convinced me that
computers form a main stay in this unprecedented and rapidly evolving area
of educational development.  As a result, I would very much like to be
part of the effort guiding the role that your products and services have
in influencing the application of new technologies.  To this end, I
readily welcome your enquires and can be reached at the folowing e-amil
