Summary
I graduated from De Vry Institute in Irving, Texas in 1993 after having been in
the electronics field for some time. I have been involved in Quality Control / Q
uality Assurance, and final test and acceptance after being a radar repairman in
the Army. I have been involved with both bench repair and field service with pr
oducts as diverse as jewelry manufacturing equipment, and car wash equipment. I
pride myself on being punctual, and being a hard worker. I will generally work o
n a project for as long as it takes to complete. I have been responsible for par
ts and inventory on customer locations. I am used to working by myself, unsuperv
ised, in the field. I have also worked with groups or teams in an effort to get
a particular job accomplished. I think you will find me personable and presentab
le. I have reliable transportation, my own tools, and am able to start work imme
diately.
Thank you very much for your consideration, and I hope to hear from you in the n
ear future.
