Thank you for considering me for this position. I am certain I will be an asset to your organization. I currently hold an active Secret Security Clearance and have a strong background in information technology, computer science, and information security. I am a retiring Sergeant First Class in the United States Army seeking a challenging position that will allow me to utilize the skills that I have obtained with my military service, civilian education, and industry certifications.
Through previous opportunities and formal education, I have obtained a strong background in networking, systems administration, the installation, programming and operation of computer hardware and software, and web design. I am knowledgeable in several computer programming languages such as Pascal, Cobol, C, C++, HTML, Java, and Visual Basics. I have also developed several complex databases using Microsoft Access and SQL commands. I am an experienced and certified IT instructor. I have instructed courses in various operating systems and software programs including Microsoft XP, Server 2003, 2008, VISTA, Exchange 2007, UNIX, Solaris 9, Solaris 10, DOS, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel, VM ware and Global Command and Control Korea.
In total, I have over 15 years of experience in management and supervision of personnel, and working with equipment and facilities used in providing voice and data communications. In addition, other opportunities have helped me to develop outstanding communication skills, both oral and written. I work well in teams and also independently. I am comfortable following specific guidelines and taking direction but I am also creative and capable enough to direct myself when guidance is not readily available. I am a diligent worker, task oriented, and organized with an eye for detail. I can work in most any environment and travel is not a barrier. I appreciate the opportunity to apply for this position and expect to hear from you in the near future. If you have any questions, I can be reached with the contact information listed above. Sincerely,
Edward L. Oliver
