Dear Madam or Sir,
I am looking for a full-time position anywhere within the United
States, starting in May of 2002. Currently, I am enrolled at
Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia and I expect
to graduate with a degree in Computer Science in May of 2002.
With more than nine years of experience as a Network Analyst and
Administrator, I have valuable experience in the field of information
systems. I am thus looking for a challenging position, which would
allow me to apply this knowledge as well as to rapidly encompass new
areas of the information security field. I am also open to positions
that involve a high degree of national or international travel. Since
I am originally from Germany and thus fluent in English as well as
German, I also have valuable language skills as well as cultural skills,
which would be beneficial in a position that involves international
clients or locations. However, please note that I am a German citizen
and therefore require sponsorship to work in the United States.
In advance, I would like to thank you very much for your time and
consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Sincerely,
Carsten Goebels
