[Gnhlug-jobs] Recent IT graduate seeking position in UNIX/Linux

[Jim Sheldon]

Hello,

This is my first posting to this mailing list.  My name is Jim
Sheldon.  I am a recent graduate from UMass Lowell with over four
years of experience in IT support.  I am currently seeking a job in
the southern New Hampshire area where I can use my experience in UNIX
and Linux in a challenging and exciting environment.  While most of my
work experience has been with Microsoft products, all of my academic
and personal focus has been on learning everything that I can about
UNIX and Linux operating systems.  My long term career goal is to
become a UNIX/Linux Systems Administrator.

I thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Jim
