To Whom It May Concern:
After a successful career in several roles in computer technology, I desire a more people oriented service directed role, such as program / project manager, technical writer or editor, but open to new possibilities. The practice of intellectual property law allowed me to realize how much the position is devoid of daily human interaction, in contrast to previous roles as team member / people manager. I find immense pleasure engaging people, such as I found in the team member / people manager roles, and mentoring youth at risk over the last 30 years (the youngest of which are now in their late twenties), as well as, engaging people at shelters / soup kitchens and / food pantries, where I volunteered as an individual and/or worked as board member to address service delivery to people in need. Although, I may be considered a nontraditional candidate, I am committed to securing an opportunity that will allow me to rely on extensive experience, as a team member and leader, contributing, organizing and managing large and small teams and organizations to deliver quality service to people. My experience includes client account management, technical writing, authoring course material, conducting presentations, lectures and training, business process optimization / reengineering, information technology consulting, project / program management, web development, software and database development, as well as, intellectual property (IP) law, commercial contracts, negotiations and management. I am eager to contribute my experience, and continue to learn new skills and knowledge, while successfully delivering value. Please note that self actualization for me is not amassing wealth or power, but service to others. Please consider my experience, and genuine desire to pursue a role oriented toward the service of people. I look forward to speaking with you regarding an opportunity to effectively contribute to your organization.
Best Regards,
Robert D. Summers Jr.
