OBJECTIVE
I have been away from programming for about 10 years while pursuing other employment experiences and working on some personal issues. I would now like to return to programming because it is the one profession I really enjoy and I feel I could become a valued employee with my experience and work ethic. I am willing to start back at an entry level salary and I am confident that I will be able to get back "up to speed" in a relatively short time.
My resume starts with my past programming experience first, followed by my current employment endeavors.
