Dear Sir or Madam:

I am an aggressive, experienced individual pursuing a position in a computer related field.  With over four years of applicable work experience, I believe that I have the training and skills needed to make me a valuable asset to any company.

In the past five years, I have gained experience in systems development, networking, systems and technical support, and customer relations.  In the course of these work experiences, I have developed the confidence to handle a wide range of responsibilities as an individual or a member of a team.  As important as these technical skills, I have also refined my communication and public relations skills, allowing me to feel comfortable and confident expressing ideas to widely varied audiences.

As December graduation approaches, I have begun to look for a permanent position where I can prove my abilities.  I am eager to relocate and begin my career in a prospering and ever-changing field.

Please contact me by mail at the above address, by phone at (317) 288-3105, or by CompuServe at 72154,1734 to receive more information or to set up an interview.

Thank you,



Charles Thresher
